Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced Hatch green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

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

Red Chile Aioli Preparation

    Mix the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, red chile powder, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Parmesan Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  2. 5

    Bake the Fries

    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Assembly
