Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large potatoes
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 8 Tomato slices
- 4 Cheese slices (optional)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and boil for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Let them cool completely before continuing.
Add the breadcrumbs, flour, egg, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix everything thoroughly until combined and the mixture holds together when pressed. If too soft, add more breadcrumbs a tablespoon at a time.
Divide the potato mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread ketchup and mayonnaise on each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half, followed by a potato patty. Add two tomato slices and a cheese slice (if using). Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, flavorful potato burgers!
