Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined, then divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Burgers

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each patty. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of bacon jam, place the cooked patty with melted mozzarella on top, and add cherry peppers. Finish with a dollop of aioli and top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 5

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  3. 6

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
