Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal 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

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a skillet. Place a cooked patty on the bottom bun, add lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips for fries.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 8

    Drain and Season

    Remove fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
