Jo’s Burger Recipe

Prepare the Patty

In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties.

Cook the Patty

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is reached.

Assemble the Burger

Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun. Top with lettuce and tomato slices, then add the top bun.

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin strips to form fries.

Fry the Potatoes

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Prepare the Brine

In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve.

Pickle the Cucumbers

Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a jar. Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers. Add garlic and dill. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
