French Fries Ingredients

Method

Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, slices of tomato, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

French Fries Directions

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips for frying.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.

  4. 8

    Season the Fries

    Sprinkle salt over the hot fries to taste.
