Careful – hot potato behind your back

Today M gets to choose and he doesn't need to consider for long. Homemade burgers with fries and guacamole.

We have made better fries before but suspect that it is the potato sort. Or perhaps too hot oil on the first cooking. In any event we have to cook them for a bit too long to get them cooked all the way through and the effect is that they are just a bit too dark on the outside. Maybe we will pre-boil them in water for a couple of minutes first next time.
In either case: cut the potato in the size you prefer. Heat up oil in sauté pan until sizzling around a match. Add potatoes – and let cook for about 5 min or until lightly tanned. Remember that they go in a second time. Don't add all the potatoes at once – but fry them in smaller portions. Remove and cool and give them a second bath before serving.

The potato bath (1st time).
T's kitchen is quite small and not at all suited for the ambitions we have. Tight coordination is required which leads to the following question from K: "Can I go behind your back with a hot potato?"

Guacamole for sensitive taste buds: Since the kids are to eat it, it has to be the simple version: just a bit of lemon, salt and pepper and spoonful of sour cream.

The Burger.... (for not so sensitive taste buds). Everyone gets to compose their own and the burger for grown-ups is put on a bun made with durum and whole-grain wheat, lots of lettuce and cucumber, guacamole, a slice of Primadonna cheese, red onions and then garlic, chili and some red jalapeños. And ketchup of course.

Some time ago T fell upon an article on Snooth describing which wines would go with McDonalds food. T filed it under utterly irrelevant, but now he looks at it again based on their recommendation we select a Catena Malbec from 2008. K is not excited about this, but agrees with reference to her adventurousness. In the end she concedes that it is actually quite good and we end up rating the meal as 8/10, the wine as 7/10, but in combination 8/10
