Recipe: Fritas Cubanas: Traditional Cuban Hamburgers for Swisspeas

FRITAS CUBANAS
(TRADITIONAL CUBAN HAMBURGERS)

1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Ketchup
1 lb organic ground beef (scary to eat anything but safe organic meats)
Olive oil for frying burgers

6 tiny (the smallest size) hamburger rolls
1 cup shoestring potato sticks

Soak bread crumbs in milk.

Mix the chopped onion, egg, salt, paprika, lime juice, garlic powder, ketchup, and soaked bread crumbs into ground beef. Make six small beef patties and refrigerate (covered) overnight.

Fry Fritas in a small amount of olive oil and cook very well on both sides until done.

Set cooked Fritas on Ketchup-smeared hamburger rolls. Cover generously with shoestring potato sticks and close bun. Add more salt to taste if you wish.
