Burgers & Fries

Just a simpler way to make burgers and fries...the healthy way!

tortillas (instead of a bun!)

Vegan Boca burgers

1/2 red onion

lettuce

pickles

6 russet potatoes

olive oil

italian seasoning

seasoned salt

1: Preheat oven to 425º F

2: Peel and cut potatoes into long vertical pieces.

3: Blanche them in a pot of boiling water for about 7-8 minutes, but watch them so they don't get too soft!

4: Strain them and place them in a bowl with 2 tsp of italian seasoning and 2 tsp olive oil.  Mix well, making sure not to break the potatoes.

5: Bake for 15 minutes, flipping midway through for even browning, adding salt and pepper if you wish.

I like to make fries this way because it involves less grease, no fillers that are found in the frozen variety...and they taste much better!

The burgers can be made by simply slicing the onions, adding olive oil to the pan to help ease the stick of the Boca patty and browning on both sides.  I opted to use tortillas instead of a big heavy bun, but you can also use a large lettuce leaf as a bun if you're trying to cut carbs.
