Burger:
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Shape the beef into a thin patty, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patty and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Potato:
- Peel potato and use a mandolin to cut the potato into ⅛ inch slices. Use a sharp knife and cut into sticks ⅛ inch thick. Place potatoes into a bowl of water.
- In a small sauce pot, heat 1 quart of vegetable oil to 350°F.
- Drain potato on a paper towel and carefully add to the hot oil.
- Remove the potato sticks when they are golden. Drain on dry paper towels.
- Add kosher salt to taste.
Assembly:
- Toast buns.
- Place the bun heel on plate.
- Put the patty on top of the bun and top with potato sticks and ketchup. Finish with the top half of the bun.
