Method

Burger Patties Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making them slightly larger than the buns.

  3. 3

    Cook 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 doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

Burger Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare Buns

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

  2. 6

    Assemble Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add tomato slices and pickles. Top with ketchup and mustard to taste, and cover with the top half of the bun.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 7

    Cut Potatoes

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

  2. 8

    Heat Oil

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

  3. 9

    Fry Potatoes

    Carefully add the cut potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 10

    Drain and Season

    Remove fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste while they are still hot.
