Hamburger and French Fries

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips and fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef Patties

    While the fries are cooking, shape the ground beef into two equal patties. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Hamburger

    During the last minute of cooking the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt. Toast the hamburger buns on the skillet if desired. Assemble by placing the patty on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the hamburger with a side of French fries.
