Method

7 steps Oven 425°F 15 min prep · 35 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss Potato with two-thirds of the Vegetable Oil and half the Salt, then spread on a large sheet pan.
Step 2. Bake the fries until browned and tender, about 30 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove from the oven.
Step 3. Meanwhile, divide Ground Beef into eight thin patties. Fold each slice of American Cheese into a small stack and place on four patties, leaving a clear edge.
Step 4. Cover with the remaining patties and pinch the edges firmly shut. Season both sides with the rest of the Salt and the Black Pepper.

Cook

Step 5. When the fries have about 15 minutes left, heat the rest of the Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers until browned and the beef is cooked through, about 10 minutes, flipping once.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Transfer the burgers to a plate and rest for 3 minutes; the cheese inside will be very hot.
Step 7. Meanwhile, toast the cut sides of the Burger Buns in the skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the burgers, Pickles and Onion to the buns and serve with the fries.

Tips

Good to know

Check the beef from the side with an instant-read thermometer, avoiding the cheese pocket; ground beef should reach 160°F.

Swap it

Use cheddar instead of American cheese if you prefer a sharper filling.
