Ingredients

• 30 g Cheddar cheese
• Ground beef patty × 1
• 1 g Black pepper
• Burger bun × 1
• 15 ml Olive oil
• 250 g Potatoes
• 2 g Salt
• Onion × 1
• 2 leaf Lettuce
• 20 g Burger sauce

Method

1. Prep Fries

   

   Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel and cut the potatoes into fries.

2. Soak Fries

   

   Place the fries in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.

3. Season Fries

   

   Drain the fries and pat them dry. In a bowl, mix with olive oil, salt & pepper.

4. Bake Fries

   

   Spread the fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 200°C, flipping halfway through.

5. Prep Accompaniments

   

   Slice the onions. Wash and slice the lettuce leaves.

6. Season Patties

   

   Season the beef patties on both sides with salt & pepper.

7. Cook Patties

   

   Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until deeply browned underneath.

8. Melt Cheese

   

   Flip the patties, top each with a slice of cheddar cheese, and cook for another 3 minutes until the cheese has melted and the patties are cooked through.

9. Toast Buns

   

   In another pan (or the same one), lightly toast the interior of the burger buns.

10. Assemble

    

    Spread sauce on the bottom bun, then top with lettuce, the patty, onions, and the top bun.

11. Final Salt Check

    

    Remove the fries from the oven and season with a bit more salt if needed.

12. Serve

    

    Serve the burger immediately with the hot fries. Enjoy!
