Method
Burger Preparation
- 1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the slab bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
- 2
Form the Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions (or four for a double burger). Form each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center.
- 3
Cook the Patties
In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- 4
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
- 5
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each brioche bun, place the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by crispy bacon, lettuce, pickle slices, red onion, and a generous amount of tasty sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 7
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 8
Fry the Potatoes
Fry the soaked potato strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 9
Season the Fries
Sprinkle the fries with salt while they are still hot and toss to coat evenly.
