Burger Ingredients

Fries Ingredients

Method

Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.

  3. 3

    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. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and condiments like ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Directions

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into thin strips to create fries.

  2. 6

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a towel.

  3. 7

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

  5. 9

    Season the Fries

    While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
