Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 cheese slices (optional)
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 cup ketchup (optional for serving)
- 1 serving lettuce, tomato, and pickles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°F to keep cooked items warm while you work on the rest of the components.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin, evenly sized sticks about 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F. While the oil heats up, prepare the hamburger patties.
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness (160°F for medium). Add a cheese slice on top during the last minute of cooking, if using.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in the oven or on a skillet for extra flavor and texture.
Once the oil has reached 375°F, fry the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Sprinkle the hot fries with paprika and additional salt to taste, tossing gently to coat.
Assemble the hamburgers by placing the cooked patties on the buns and adding your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
Serve the hamburgers alongside the hot fries with a side of ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your homemade Hamburger Fries Dinner!
