Method

Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger bun.

  3. 3

    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 they reach the desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the cooked patties on the bottom bun, top with a slice of tomato and a lettuce leaf, then cover with the top bun.

Fries Directions

  1. 6

    Prepare Potatoes

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

  2. 7

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, 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 to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 9

    Drain and Season

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