These were okay, but I think the recipe needs some adjusting. I don't know if my ratio of potatoes to everything else was just off or what, but there was no keeping these together. My best attempt resulted in half the patty remaining whole. I think too that the onion would be better if it was fried before adding to the potato mixture. The flavours were good and it was nice to have potatoes for breakfast.

These are delicious! I halved the recipe and used 1 T of olive oil (maybe a little more) to fry them in. I made mine into the shape of a potato pancake. You do have to handle them carefully when turning to make sure that they don't fall apart. These would be great with a variety of meats and vegetables as suggested by the chef. I had mine for lunch. I will be having the leftovers for breakfast tomorrow with some toast. So good! Thanks for sharing.
