SO HOW'D IT GO?
its good to top it off with some bbq sauce.
This looks very similar to the tofu patties recipe I used to make way back when I was veggie before. I've googled and browsed through old veggie cookbooks and haven't been able to find the old one. I can't wait to try this. :)
I thought they were a little bland, but tasted more like chi'kn patties than burger patties. Had to add more oatmeal and potato flakes than the recipe called for to make the patties firmer.
I suggest adding four tablespoons (total) of crushed red pepper flakes, one teaspoon more of pepper than called for, a half a teaspoon of sea salt, a teaspoon or two of chili powder, a few shakes of seasoned salt, a teaspoon of poultry seasoning, and a whole teaspoon of garlic powder. (Aside from a lot more potato flakes and oatmeal.)
It was good but if you're looking for a "burger" taste this isn't the recipe for you.
I actually didn't care too much for this recipe. IMO it was very bland.
These are well nice! :)
I'd never heard of potato flakes, so left them out and put an Orgran No Egg in to bind it, as it was looking a bit crumbly. It'll take a garlic clove and quite a bit more chilli.
I ate loads - nice one. :D
:) Great patties! I accidentally put more garlic powder in, but they turned out great anyway. Definitely worth making =)
