Method

Cheeseburger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into two patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, add lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin strips for frying.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 9

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
