Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped ham, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, then form into two patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a patty on top, followed by the sautéed onions and a handful of crispy shoestring potatoes. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Cuban Frita Burgers immediately with extra shoestring potatoes on the side.
