Scrounged the fridge, came up with Patty Melt's!

Ok so I had some leftover beef and turkey breasts in the fridge that I knew would go bad by tomorrow, so came up with Patty Melt's with homemade french fries! 


You need (for 2 servings) 4 pieces of bread ..whatever you want, rye is best, we used just White, you need 2 slices of swiss cheese (or american), onion, bell pepper, some butter, potatoes, and vegetable oil.


Make your burger patties how you want, I added soy sauce and a little bit of A1 and pepper and garlic salt, made my burgers, and then for the turkey breast, I just seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic salt, and covered both the turkey and beef with some creole seasoning.


I cooked all meats in 1 pan, sauteed onions and peppers in butter and a little bit of oil in a pan separately until nicely sauteed, then set them aside since they were done.  For the fries I cut potatoes into slices..however thick you want! I soaked them in cold water to get some of the starches off ..makes it easier to fry! Then once oil was hot but not too hot, put all the fries in and let them cook a bit, until the bubbles calm down, took them out on a plate with a papertowl, let them cool a bit and turned up the heat on the oil, and placed them back in to get nice and crispy! 

Once your meats are cooked, place cheese over them to melt them and get your toast ready on your plates.  You can make a quick secret sauce ... its like Thousand Island, 2 tablespoons mayo, 1 tablespoon ketchup, pinch of sugar, some sweet relish, and salt and pepper to taste, spread that over the toast, place the meat with cheese on the bread, cover with sauteed onions and peppers, and cover with other piece of bread ... and BAM you got yourself a yummy patty melt! Serve with fries salted :)
