Burger* Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

2. 2

   Fry the Potatoes

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

3. 3

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Cook the Burger Patties

   Form the ground beef into 2 patties and season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add cheddar cheese on top to melt.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of the burger bun, layer lettuce, the cooked burger patty with melted cheddar, caramelized onions, pickled okra, and pimento or blue cheese. Top with the other half of the bun and serve with the hand-cut fries.
