Chef's Note
For extra juicy burgers, avoid pressing down on the patty while cooking as this squeezes out the flavorful juices. If you prefer your fries extra crispy, you can double-fry them - cook once at a lower temperature, let rest for a few minutes, then fry again at a higher temperature.

Ingredients
4 oz ground chuck
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 hamburger bun
1 American cheese slice
1 lettuce leaf
1 tomato slice
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp mustard
1 medium russet potato
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
Wash the potato and cut into 1/4-inch thick strips. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.
- 2
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- 3
Add the potato strips to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
- 4
While the fries are cooking, form the 4 oz of ground chuck into a patty about 1/2-inch thick and slightly larger than your bun (it will shrink when cooking).
- 5
Season both sides of the patty with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- 6
In the same skillet (or a separate one if needed), cook the burger over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on the first side.
- 7
Flip the burger and cook for another 2-3 minutes for medium doneness. Place 1 slice of American cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- 8
While the burger cooks, lightly toast the hamburger bun in a toaster or in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes.
- 9
Spread 1 tbsp ketchup and 1 tsp mustard on the bottom bun, then add the lettuce leaf and tomato slice.
- 10
Place the cooked cheeseburger on top of the tomato and cover with the top bun.
- 11
Serve the cheeseburger with the homemade fries on the side.
