Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized 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 for medium doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large 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 until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 9

    Season the Fries

    While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt to taste.
