1. Bake fries: Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss fries with oil and a pinch of salt, spread on a lined sheet, and bake 20–25 minutes, turning once.

2. Form patties: Divide meat into 4 equal balls; flatten to 4-inch patties. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

3. Cook patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook 4–5 minutes per side until done (165°F for turkey).

4. Melt cheese: Top each patty with a cheese slice in the last minute; cover to melt.

5. Toast buns: Lightly toast cut sides in the skillet or oven for 1–2 minutes.

6. Assemble: Bottom bun + lettuce + tomato (optional) + patty. Cap with top bun.

7. Create spider legs: Slide 3–4 fries into each side of the bun so they stick out like legs.

8. Add the face: Dab ketchup or mustard to glue on olive slices or candy eyes. Draw a small mouth if you like.

9. Serve: Plate with remaining fries and dips (ketchup, mustard, guacamole, or sour cream).

10. For toddlers: Use soft buns, cut fries shorter and tender, skip toothpicks, and slice the burger into small wedges.
