Divide the Wagyu beef into two equal portions and form into patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and smash them down with a spatula for a crispy exterior, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip and add a slice of white cheddar on each patty, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in the same skillet until golden brown.

Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 6
Fry the Potatoes
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat. Drain and pat dry the potato strips. Fry in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt to taste.
