Classic American Brisket Bacon Cheeseburger with Shoestring Fries

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the shoestring fries: Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin matchstick-sized strips. Rinse the potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F).

3. 3

   Fry the potatoes in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season immediately with 1 teaspoon of salt.

4. 4

   Shape the ground brisket beef into 4 equal patties, about 200g each. Season both sides with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt.

5. 5

   Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Grill or pan-fry the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.

7. 7

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

8. 8

   Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

9. 9

   Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a leaf of iceberg lettuce, a slice of tomato, the cheesy brisket patty, 2 slices of crispy bacon, and the top half of the bun.

10. 10

    Serve each burger with a generous portion of shoestring fries on the side. Enjoy your Classic American Brisket Bacon Cheeseburger with Shoestring Fries!
