Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin fries. Rinse off the excess starch and pat them completely dry before frying.

PREPARE THE ONIONS

Step 3

Cut several thick rounds from the large onions, keeping the rings together — these will replace the burger buns. Finely dice the remaining onion for the animal-style fries.

Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and light brown sugar and cook slowly, stirring regularly, until soft, golden and caramelised. Remove and set aside.

Add the thick onion rounds to a lightly buttered pan and cook over medium heat until beautifully golden and caramelised on both sides while still holding their shape. Set aside.

COOK THE BURGERS

Step 7

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the patties on both sides until browned, caramelised and completely cooked through. Remove them from the pan temporarily.

Step 8

While the burgers are cooking, heat your frying oil and cook the homemade fries until crisp and golden. Drain well and season with salt.

BUILD THE FLYING DUTCHMAN

Step 9

Return an onion round to the pan and add a little cheese on top to help everything stick together.

Step 10

Layer: Onion → cheese → burger → cheese → burger → cheese → onion

Step 11

Cover the pan with a lid for a minute or two, allowing the residual heat and steam to melt all that cheese together.

MAKE ANIMAL STYLE FRIES

Step 12

Pile the hot fries onto your serving plate, add the American cheese while they’re still piping hot so it begins to melt, drizzle generously with the homemade sauce and finish with the caramelised diced onions.

SERVE

Step 13

Serve the Flying Dutchman burgers immediately alongside the loaded animal-style fries, extra sauce for dipping and some baby hot peppers if you can find them.
