Ingredients

Air Fryer French Fries

  • 2 Russet potatoes about ½ lb per portion
  • 1 TBSP Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Ketchup for serving

Cheeseburger

  • 8 oz Ground beef
  • ½ TBSP Steak seasoning
  • ½ TBSP Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup Assorted olives chopped
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Hamburger buns lightly toasted

Cola

  • 24 oz Coca Cola cold

Instructions

  • Prep the potatoes: Cut the potatoes into ¼ inch-thick sticks. Place into a large bowl and cover completely with cold water for 20 minutes (see note). Drain well and pat dry with a towel.
  • Preheat the airfryer to 400°F (200°C) for the fries. While the potatoes are soaking, make the burger patties.
  • Mix together the ground beef, steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into even patties. Transfer to a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and reserve in the fridge until you are ready to cook (see note).
  • Once the air fryer is ready, place the fries in the air fryer basket and drizzle with oil. Cook for about 20 minutes, shaking or flipping them halfway through, until the fries are crispy and golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make the olive sauce: Mix olives and mayonnaise for olive sauce, and allow to chill in the refrigerator until serving time.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  • Lightly toast the buns in a toaster oven or briefly place flat side-down on the grill.
  • Cook the burger patties: Add the patties to the grill and cook on both sides, to your desired internal temperature using a thermometer (see below).
  • Compose the burger: Place patties on bottom buns, top with olive mixture, close burgers with top buns.
  • Serve: Enjoy your olive burger with french fries, ketchup, and cola.

Notes

Pro tip: Soaking the potatoes in cold water removes the excess starch so you get crispier fries.
Pro tip: Cooking burger patties chilled instead of at room temperature prevents the patties from falling apart as they cook.
