Dinner last night was grilled burgers with Shoestring fries.
Usually I handcut fries but last night I wanted shoestring fries so I got out the Mandoline.
I have great respect , or maybe I should say “fear” for the mandoline.
I don’t use my mandoline very often.
I have never cut myself using the Mandoline, but I know so many that have done some major finger damage so when I do use it I am extremely careful.
The burgers were made from lean grounded beef and simply seasoned with just salt, pepper, fresh garlic and a little olive oil. Lean ground beef can be a little dry so I
always rub olive oil on my hands when I am shaping the burgers. This adds just enough fat back into the meat to ensure a juicy burger.
Topped with locally grown Heirloom tomatoes, onions, dill pickle and lettuce.

Yip, I have had a run in with a mandoline and it won 😦 The burger looks awesome and kudos for toasting the bun, I just cant eat a burger without a toasted bun! Did you bake the fries or fry them? They look very good.Thanks for sharing..
what a gorgeous blog! i wish my husband ate meat…
YIKES! I didn't know I could make shoe string fries with my dusty mandoline! Yipee!
This dinner would surely please everybody in my family. Delicious!
It's the perfect summer supper.Like you, I have a healthy respect for the mandolin – my husband badly cut his finger tips using one.
Oh, how I wish I had that RIGHT NOW to eat! Looks delicious.Best,Gloria

I've been meaning to purchase a mandoline. Shoestring fries look so yummy.
