✅ Ingredients
For the Gourmet Hamburgers:
1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juicy burgers)
4 gourmet hamburger buns (brioche or pretzel buns work great!)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional toppings: arugula, caramelized onions, tomato, truffle aioli, pickles
4 slices aged cheddar or your favorite cheese
For the Truffle Parmesan Loaded Fries:
4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp truffle oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Optional: crispy bacon bits for extra indulgence
✅Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Truffle Parmesan Fries:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Spread fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
(Alternative: Fry in hot oil at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes per batch, then drain on paper towels.)
Once crispy, drizzle the fries with truffle oil and toss them with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. For extra indulgence, sprinkle crispy bacon bits on top.
2️⃣ Prepare the Gourmet Hamburgers:
While the fries are baking, form the ground beef into 4 patties. Season with salt and black pepper.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or cook to your preferred level.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
Toast the buns lightly on the grill or in a separate pan.
3️⃣ Assemble the Gourmet Hamburgers:
Build your burgers by placing the patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the bun.
Add your gourmet toppings such as arugula, caramelized onions, tomato, pickles, and truffle aioli for an extra touch of luxur
