Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into 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 level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

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

Garlic Aioli Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by a few slices of red onion and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

Shoestring Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin, shoestring-like strips.

  2. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
