A frita recipe may be my favorite burger recipe, but eatlier this month I visited The Filling Station, makers of the very best cheeseburger. It was incredible. Their burger remains in the running for the Sargento America’s Ultimate Cheeseburger – and it’s winning, by a lot! Have you voted?

Cuban Frita

I’m a toppings girl. I like it all on my burger. Sautéed onions, pickles, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, cheese….I could go on.  I also like to go traditional, in a Cuban sort of way.  A cuban hamburger is called a frita. These burgers are more like sliders in size. S frita recipe includes similar ingredients as a traditional American burger, but with a cuban twist, of course.

The standard topping for a Cuban Frita is potato sticks and ketchup. Throwing a slice of cheese on top makes it even better. I prefer cheese with a kick like the Sargento Colby Pepper Jack that The Filling Station used in their burger. Have you ever tried making a frita?
