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 from olive bar
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Hamburger buns lightly toasted

Lemonade

  • 24 oz Lemonade cold

Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • 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. While the potatoes are soaking, make the burger patties.
  • Preheat the airfryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • Mix olives and mayonnaise for olive sauce, and allow to chill in the refrigerator until serving time.
  • Lightly toast the buns.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  • 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 and top with olive mixture and top buns.
  • Serve: Enjoy your olive burger with french fries and lemonade!

Notes

Pro tip: Soaking the potatoes in water before frying draws out the starch so that it doesn’t burn on the surface, resulting in crispier golden-brown fries.
Pro tip: Cooking burger patties chilled instead of at room temperature prevents the patties from falling apart as they cook.
