Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices red onion
- 4 tbsp ketchup
- 4 tbsp mustard
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- Toss fries with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- While fries bake, divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium. In the last minute, top each with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
- Toast buns on the grill or in a toaster. Assemble burgers: bun bottom, lettuce, tomato, patty with cheese, onion, ketchup, mustard, bun top.
- Serve burgers immediately with hot fries.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add pickles or bacon.
- Fries can be seasoned with garlic powder or paprika.
- Leftover fries can be reheated in the oven.
