Instructions
1. Prepare Drip Jam by sautéing ingredients until thick and jammy.
2. Shape seasoned beef into patties and grill to desired doneness.
3. Melt cheese on top of patties during last minute of cooking.

5. Soak and double-fry potatoes until crispy and golden brown.

For crispier fries, soak potatoes in cold water overnight.
Serve burgers family-style on a rustic board with extra jam on the side.
