"This is a different twist on burgers, they are shaped and then marinaded, use you own favorite seasonings to flavor the burgers. The shredded potato creates a very juicy burger, don't worry you will not even taste it after cooking! ;-) Plan ahead these need to marinade for 6-8 hours before grilling."

You are right Kitt. DH and DS didnt even know about the potato. I didn't tell either as they may have turned their noses. I followed your recipe as written except I was using 1 1/2 lbs. of hamburg and so adjusted accordingly. I did omit the green onion in the burger and opted to have chopped up sweet white onion on the side for topping. DH did these on the grill and the smell was fantastic. Not eating meat myself...that says something:-)
