Burger Ingredients

Fries Ingredients

Method

Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and any desired condiments (ketchup, mustard, pickles). Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Directions

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about ¼ inch thick. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the 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 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 9

    Season the Fries

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

  5. 10

    Serve

    Serve the fries alongside the burgers for a complete meal.
