Ranch burgers with hand cut sweet potato fries

Tonight I made ranch burgers. They were delicious. I am always so disappointed in home made burgers because they just don't live up to what you can get in restaurants. But this burger makes the cut when it comes to satisfaction at home. 

Mix 1 pound ground beef (I used 80% lean) with a packet of hidden valley ranch dressing mix. Form into 4 patties 

Grill on a George Forman grill until outside is properly browned. 

While the burger is cooking melt a small pat of butter in a skillet and toast the inside of your hamburger buns. 

As soon as your hamburgers are cooked, top with sharp cheddar cheese so it can melt while the meat is super hot. 

Add fresh tomatoes, arugula, and your toasted bun and you have an amazing burger. 

As far as the fries go, I had some fresh local sweet potatoes I wanted to use. Wash and peel your sweet potatoes. Cut width wise into skinny disks, then cut length wise into fries. Coat with a fair amount of olive oil, sea salt, and rosemary. Bake on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 450 then if they need a little added crispness, broil for an added 5 minutes. Enjoy!
