Method
Burger Directions
- 1
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Form into four equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
- 2
Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
- 3
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Fries Directions

Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 7
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
