Rosemary Burgers and Cheesy Fries

I have a thing that with almost every meal I make I make some sort of potato, unless there is going to be pasta in the dish. 

So tonight we have cheesy fries, they were probably the best I have made so far. 

I took 3 potatoes ( I left the peel on) cut in half then cut length wise and cut each length in half again. You can make the fries any thickness you would like. 

I took one clove of garlic and minced it to bake with the fries. 

Heat oven to 350 degrees. 

Spread fries on baking sheet lined with foil.  Sprinkle with a generous amount of salt. Bake ten minutes, take out of oven and flip. Sprinkle with more salt and add vegetable oil. Bake another ten minutes. Take out of oven and add what ever cheese you would like. Today I used  mild cheddar slices. I placed 3 on top of the fries, with of course more salt, then baked again for about 5 minutes, until your cheese is nice and melted. I also added a little bit of onion to the top. You can also add bacon bits, chives, or even chili! 

Rosemary burgers is a recipe I took from Giada Delaurentiis. She made them with chicken, but I decided to use beef instead. Now the recipe calls for mayo to bind everything together, it wasn't until after two times of making these burgers and having them fall apart on me that I don't need mayo with beef. 

So here is my form of the recipe. 

2 cloves garlic minced

Handful of rosemary, since it is winter I use dried. Also I chop the rosemary into smaller pieces. 

1 lb of beef

Mayo

Add garlic and rosemary to beef and mix together with hands. Form into 4 patties. 

Add to hot pan. 

Cook about 7 to 8 minutes aside. 

 

I like to toast my buns in the oven. Then I spread mayo on the bottom bun and sprinkle some rosemary over the mayo. 

My boyfriend likes to add cheese to his burger.
