Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin (grated)
- 1 large Russet potato (grated)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (optional, shredded)

- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)

Instructions
Prepare the grated pumpkin and potato by using a box grater and placing them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out any excess liquid to prevent soggy hash browns.
In a large bowl, combine the grated pumpkin, grated potato, flour, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the mixture forms a cohesive texture. If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time.
Optional: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese for a richer, creamy flavor.
Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Gently place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more olive oil to the skillet if necessary when flipping the patties.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the pumpkin hash brown patty, a slice of tomato, and your choice of condiments. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the pumpkin hash browns vegetarian burgers warm, with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
