Ingredients
- 1 burger bun
- 1/4 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp pickle slices
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 slice tomato
- 1 large potato
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 can (12 oz) soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut potato into thin fries, toss with oil and salt, spread on baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden, flipping halfway.
- While fries bake, season ground beef with salt and form into a patty slightly larger than the bun.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook patty 3-4 minutes per side for medium. In the last minute, top with cheese and cover to melt.
- Toast burger bun in the skillet or oven until lightly browned.
- Assemble burger: spread ketchup and mustard on bottom bun, add patty with cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and top bun.
- Serve burger with fries and soda. Enjoy immediately.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking.
- Customize with your favorite toppings like onions, bacon, or special sauce.
