Air Fryer Burgers and Fries

Air Fryer Burgers and Fries


5 ounce recipe. You can also make this with 4 oz. burgers.

Fast and easy and you don't need to take anything out of the freezer in the morning. Goes especially well with homemeade buns or store-bought ciabattas.

Remove
  • 2 or 3 (5 oz.) hamburger patties
from the freezer. Put them on a plate and leave them on the counter. Then go to the pantry and get
  • 1 pound potatoes (probably three) or two baking russets
Wash, scrub and remove any gross bits but do not peel. Cut each potato longwise into 4 slices. Lay each half a potato (2 slices) down flat and cut each half into 4 slices again so you end up with 16 more-or-less ½ inch fries per potato. Put them in a medium-sized bowl and add
  • a glug or two of canola oil
Add your fries and shake it all about until they are coated with a bit of oil. Then sprinkle on
  • salt
  • pepper
Then prepare your toppings.
  • sliced tomatoes
  • lettuce
  • cheese
  • pickles
  • ketchup
  • relish
Maybe get out the toaster for your buns.

Put your mostly still frozen hamburger patties in the middle tray of the air fryer and give it
5 minutes at 400

Flip the burgs. Then another
10 minutes at 400

Flip the burgs again and move them to the bottom, and put two trays of fries in on top and turn on the fryer for
10 minutes at 400

Flip the burgers once more, scoot the fries back into the bowl, shake well, back onto trays and into the fryer. Then another
10 minutes at 400

If you're toasting buns now is the time.

Enjoy!
