Welcome Alexia everyone, another good friend of Amber’s. Alexia chose hamburgers and fries and we changed it up slightly to sliders and shoestring fries. They were delicious!! Ken has been making these little burgers for awhile now. I added some Havarti for an additional twist.
Serves 6
650 gms. extra lean ground beef
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2″ slices
1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 Tbsp. hickory BBQ sauce
Mix together in a bowl with your hands. Add salt and pepper to taste. Roll into a ball just larger than a golfball and then compress to a disc. BBQ on medium heat 5 min. a side. Top with cheese if desired and any other topping you prefer.
Shoestring Potatoes
6 potatoes, washed and peeled
Canola oil
salt
On the shoestring setting of a mandolin slice potatoes, place in a large bowl of water to keep from browning. Dry very well before placing in the oil. Heat oil in a wok, test with one tiny potato until when dropped in it quickly floats back up bubbling. Fry small amounts of potatoes at a time until golden. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and salt immediately. Keep warm in a 200F oven while cooking the rest of the potatoes.
