Peel and thinly slice the onions. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (200g each) and shape into oval patties slightly larger than the bread slices. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean. Butter one side of each slice of rye bread with the remaining butter.
To assemble each patty melt: Place a slice of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet. Top with 1 slice of Swiss cheese, a beef patty, a generous spoonful of caramelized onions, another slice of Swiss cheese, and a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook each sandwich over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat for all sandwiches.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F). Fry the shoestring fries in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
Serve the patty melts hot with a generous portion of shoestring fries on the side.
