Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

  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 level of doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 6

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and paprika until evenly coated.

  3. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty. Top with slices of tomato and onion, then cover with the top half of the bun.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the burgers alongside the freshly baked fries.
