BURGER & FRIES Recipe

Prepare the Fries

Wash and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Soak them in water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

Fry the Potatoes

In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.

Form the Burger Patties

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form into patties.

Cook the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Burger

Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a patty on each bun and top with lettuce, tomato slices, and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.

Serve

Serve the burgers hot with a side of fries.
