For the perfect BURGER on the grill...use 80 - 20 ground beef. Lightly pat the beef into a patty. DO NOT over pat the meat. The only spices needed if you use good beef is salt and pepper. Put a thin smear of butter on the patty and grill. I usually do 5 min on first side then 3 min on the second. Absolutely DO NOT smash the burger down with the flipper. If you do I will come find you!

I use a homemade roll for a bun.

For the FRIES use 1 potato per person. Cut potatoes into narrow wedges.

for 4 potatoes...
Mix 1/4 c olive oil
1/2 t SPIKE seasoning
pinches of salt n pepper

Coat potatoes, lift out of mixture and arrange potatoes on baking sheet.

Bake 10 min at 375. Flip potatoes and bake 15 min at 400.
