Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Add a slice of Grafton cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

  4. 4

    Toast the Kaiser Rolls

    While the burgers are cooking, slice the Kaiser rolls and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted Kaiser roll, add the cooked patty with melted cheese, and top with slices of fresh tomato. Cover with the top half of the roll.

Parmesan Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and cut the potatoes into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 7

    Season the Fries

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

  3. 8

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  4. 9

    Add Parmesan Cheese

    Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat.
