Classic Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries Recipe

Table of Contents

Cheeseburgers are classics, but so is the bacon cheeseburger; that extra fatty richness in a few slices of crispy bacon makes a big difference. Topping a juicy beef patty with a thick slab of bacon is always a good idea, and so is making French fries from scratch. Have you made your own fries before?

Let’s start from the beginning. This is a recipe for a classic bacon cheeseburger with homemade fries, and the highlight here is the fries. The burger is super customizable, so you can do your own thing — after all, we all like our burgers differently. The fries are another story. If they’re not cooked right, they’re soggy, and who wants that?

Classic Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries 2 XS

What goes into a classic bacon cheeseburger with fries?

We’re using a nice quality all-beef patty for the burger, in my case, sirloin patties, regular pork bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato and the standard condiments. What you can’t miss is using a brioche bun — I’m not sure if that’s the most traditional approach, but it’s totally worth it. The buttery, fluffy bread is fantastic!

For the fries, you only need plain potatoes, water, salt and pepper. The key here is frying them twice. That’s the only way to achieve the perfect crispiness and the most tender core.
