Instructions

Prepare the Burger Patties

In a bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 4 patties, each about 2 cm thick.

Pro tip: Avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender.

Chill the Patties

Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

Preheat the Grill

Heat your grill to medium-high, approximately 200°C (400°F).

Pro tip: Brush the grill with oil to prevent sticking.

Cook the Patties

Grill the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F). Add cheese slices during the last minute, if using.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.

Prepare the Fries

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 180°C (350°F). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Pro tip: Ensure the fries are dry before frying to prevent oil splatters.

Assemble the Burgers

Place the cooked patties on toasted buns with your desired toppings and serve hot with fries on the side.

Pro tip: Customize with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and sauces.
