Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 large potato (about 1 lb), cut into fries
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• 4 slices of pickles
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• Ketchup and mustard, for serving

How to Make Cheeseburgers with Crispy Fries

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the fries. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the potato into thin strips to make fries. Place them in a bowl, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
4. While the fries are baking, shape the ground beef into four equal patties. Season each patty with salt and pepper on both sides.
5. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them.
6. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty after flipping, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness (160°F minimum for medium).
7. While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the sesame seed buns in a separate pan or under a broiler until golden brown.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the beef patty with melted cheese, a slice of pickle, and any additional condiments you like. Top with the other half of the bun.
9. Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven, and season with additional salt if desired.
10. Serve the juicy cheeseburgers with the crispy fries and your favorite dipping sauces.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose ground beef with a good fat content (80/20) for juicy burgers.
• Don’t overwork the meat when forming patties to keep them tender.
• Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking for maximum juiciness.
• For extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch.

Easy Variations

• Add toppings like avocado, bacon, or grilled onions for a flavor boost.
• Swap cheddar for your favorite cheese, like Swiss or pepper jack.
• Try sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a different fry option.
• Make it a double cheeseburger by stacking two patties on one bun!

What to Serve With It

• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch.
• A side salad to balance the meal.
• Onion rings for an extra indulgent treat.
• Your favorite dipping sauces like barbecue or ranch.
