Notes

  • You can season the burger patties with burger seasoning or another spice rub if you like.
  • The time will vary based on the thickness of the patties. If your patties are thicker, you may need to fry them longer.
  • Don't overcrowd the fryer. You want the air to be able to circulate so the burgers cook evenly.
