With everything ready, we are going to prepare them:

This is the classic and most requested dish. A hamburger with potatoes will always be a success that will get you out of more than one jam. You can make these hamburgers in the pan, on the barbecue, on the grill, or even on the embers. Look for these simple ingredients.

• Wash the potato well and peel it into long sticks.
• Pour a generous amount of oil into the pan and, when hot, turn the potatoes over and leave them until golden brown. Take them out and lay them on absorbent paper to get rid of excess oil.
• Make the hamburgers following the steps we have given you previously. The point of the meat will depend on your taste; if we like them well done, you should make a few small cuts in the central part to make inside.
• Chop the onion and add it to the pan until golden.
• If you like to serve your patties with hamburger buns, place each one on a bun.
• Cut two tomato slices and place them, together with a lettuce leaf, on the hamburger. You can also brown the tomato in the pan if you like.
• Fry the egg, sprinkle it and make sure the yolk is not overcooked. To spice up the egg, be sure to coat the edges of the egg with oil, so they cook crisp.

The hamburger, as we have mentioned, can go with or without bread, red meat, chicken, or vegetables, you decide.

The fish burgers can be an ideal choice for those who do not like to eat them a lot of fish, especially children. They are so delicious that you won't even notice what they are made of. You can make recipes with tuna, salmon, monkfish, or other types of fish. We have prepared a salmon with cucumber sauce. Sounds good, right? Take note because, in just 20 minutes, you can enjoy this delicious burger. These are the ingredients you should look for:

• 500 g of salmon
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1 egg
• 100 g of breadcrumbs
• Hamburger bun (optional)
• Lettuce
• 1 Greek yogurt
• 2 cucumbers
• 1 clove garlic
• Fine herb spices and dill

Do you already have the ingredients? Now preparing them will be very easy.

• Dice the salmon (if there are bones, remove them). Mix them with the breadcrumbs, egg, and mustard.
• Mix well and shape them into a hamburger with your hands or with the help of a fork. Put them in the pan (when the oil is hot) and let them brown. Important! Don't move them too much to prevent them from falling apart.
• Make a sauce with the cucumbers. Take all the ingredients (yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and spices) and blend them in a blender or food processor.
• Once you have the sauce, prepare the bread (if you don't want to use bread, serve directly on the plate). Place the hamburger, and some lettuce leaves on top of it. Dump a few tablespoons of the cucumber sauce, and eat!
