Method

Burgers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into 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. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the patty, a slice of tomato (sliced), ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare the Fries

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. 6

    Season the Fries

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