For the Fourth of July this year I grilled Wagyu Burgers from our local butcher. The burgers were between half and three-quarters inch thick, and they were very juicy. I also decided to use a Brioche bun that was toasted on the grill to complete the burgers. Most of the dishes I make take a long time, but this one was very simple and didn’t take a long time. I also caramelized onions for toppings. The other toppings were butter lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon. I wanted to add pickles, but I couldn’t get them in time. The best part of the meal was the Hasselback potatoes. I used an A Spicy Perspective recipe. The history of the potatoes is very interesting. They originally came from a tavern in Sweden called Hasselbacken. As the Hasselback Potatoes have spread, they have taken on the flavors of various areas. Their interesting shape also allows them to have a crispy outside and a soft inside, making them delicious. The last dish I made was a fruit salad. I used halved grapes, one inch cubed pineapple, one inch cubed papaya, a few handfuls of blueberries, pomegranate seeds, a handful of chopped mint, cilantro, two tablespoons of honey, a few cups of coconut, with a lime juice dressing.
