Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 cup (2 oz.) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • 4 hamburger rolls
  • 8 pickle slices (optional)
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 4 Boston or iceberg lettuce leaves
  • 4 teaspoons ketchup

Directions

1. Make oven fries: Heat oven to 450 degree F. Toss potato wedges with oil. Arrange in a single layer on a large jelly-roll pan. Bake 10 minutes; turn potatoes with spatula and bake 15 to 20 minutes more, until golden brown. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

2. Make Cheddar Burgers: Meanwhile, lightly mix beef, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper and red pepper in bowl. Shape beef mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

3. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush pan with oil. Cook patties 7 minutes per side, until meat thermometer inserted in center of one patty reaches 160 degrees F for medium. Remove pan from heat; divide and top each burger with cheese. Cover pan 2 minutes until cheese melts.

4. Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on bottom half of each roll; place burgers on rolls. Top each with 2 pickle slices, if desired, onion slices, tomato, and lettuce. Spread 1 teaspoon ketchup on top half of each roll; place on tops of burgers. Serve with oven fries. Makes 4 servings.
