1
Prepare the Garlic Fries
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the frozen or fresh fries with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
2
Cook the Beef Patties
While the fries are baking, heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the island beef patties with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked mozzarella on each patty to melt.
3
Assemble the Burger
Toast the sesame buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden. On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, a slice of tomato, the beef patty with melted mozzarella, and top with crispy fried onions. Place the top half of the bun over the onions.
