  • Meanwhile, heat the oil to Second fry375 °F and fry the potatoes again for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and crisp. Toss with the flaky salt.
    1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
  • Toast the rolls on the grill. Build the burgers with the lettuce, tomato, patties and bacon, and serve with the fries, ketchup and mustard.

No deep fryer? Fry in a heavy pot with at least 3 inches of oil and use a thermometer to check the temperature.
No grill? Cook the bacon and burgers in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
