Method
Burger Patties
- 1
Prepare the Beef Blend
In a large bowl, combine the brisket and chuck beef. Use your hands to mix them together until well combined.
- 2
Season the Meat
Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the meat mixture. Mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- 3
Form Patties
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
- 4
Chargrill the Patties
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- 5
Melt the Cheese
During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Prep the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips for fries.

Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and dry them thoroughly.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, then remove and drain on paper towels.
