★Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
★Instructions
For the Hamburgers:
- Prepare the Patties:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined but don’t overwork the meat.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, slightly larger than the buns (they will shrink when cooked).
- Cook the Patties:
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- Toast the Buns:
- Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the Burgers:
- Spread your preferred condiments on the bun bottoms.
- Place the cooked patties on the buns and add lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion slices.
- Top with the bun tops and serve immediately.
For the Fries:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes (you can leave the skin on if you prefer).
- Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries.
- Season the Fries:
- Place the fries in a large bowl.
- Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.
- Bake the Fries:
- Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Serve alongside the burgers with your favorite dipping sauces.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a slice of bacon or sautéed mushrooms to your burgers.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss, blue cheese, or pepper jack for a unique twist.
- If you like spicy fries, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
Enjoy!
