Fries Ingredients

Method

Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheeseburger patty, a slice of tomato (sliced from the whole tomato), and onion rings (sliced from the whole onion). Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Directions

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to create fries.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 9

    Season the Fries

    Sprinkle the fries with salt while they are still hot.
