The New Rivers Burger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Frites

   Cut the potatoes into thin strips to make frites. Rinse them in cold water and pat dry. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and a splash of malt vinegar.

2. 2

   Make the Aioli

   In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and malt vinegar. Mix well and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Burger

   Form the ground beef into two patties, season with salt and pepper. Preheat a frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Vermont cheddar on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the burgers are cooking, toast the seeded milk buns on a separate griddle or in the oven until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   Spread the malt vinegar aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the burger patty with melted cheese on top. Add sliced Four Town Farm tomato. If desired, top with sunny side egg, crispy bacon, or roasted mushrooms. Place the top half of the bun on the burger.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the burger with a side of triple cooked frites and bread and butter pickles.
