Method
Burger Patties
- 1
Prepare the Patties
In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Avoid overworking the meat to keep it juicy.
- 2
Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into 2 equal portions and form into patties, making sure they are slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink while cooking.

Add Cheese
Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.
Burger Assembly
- 5
Toast the Buns
While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- 6
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slice, pickles, and your choice of ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
Fries

Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips for frying. Rinse the cut fries under cold water to remove excess starch.
- 8
Fry the Potatoes
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Season the Fries
Remove fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste while they are still hot.
