Preparation

Burger Directions

1. Prepare the Patties

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and shape into four equal patties.

2. Cook the Patties

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Add a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

3. Prepare the Buns

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

4. Assemble the Burgers

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, add lettuce, a slice of tomato, a cooked patty with melted cheese, onion slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Directions

5. Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips to make fries.

6. Heat the Oil

In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

7. Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

8. Season the Fries

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

Milkshake Directions

9. Blend the Milkshake

In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, milk, and chocolate syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.

10. Serve

Pour the milkshake into glasses and optionally top with additional chocolate syrup or whipped cream if desired.
