*hamburguesa Santa Fe Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Rinse them in cold water and pat dry. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and paprika. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Burger Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, roasted Hatch green chiles, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties, about 8 oz each.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Grill the Patties

   In the same skillet or on a grill, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with shredded cheddar cheese to melt.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns lightly. On each bun, place a cheese-topped patty, add crumbled bacon, and any additional toppings of your choice. Top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the burgers hot with a side of fries.
