Potato Burger

I had some left over potatoes and it was burger night so I thought Why not? My left overs were garlic mashed potatoes. It tastes delish and it does stretch that burger meat. They are a bit soft to handle so if you BBQ I recommend using a griddle under the burger (the ones with the holes) . I enjoy these burgers pan fried. I like this amount for 4 burgers but it will make 6 just increase the number of buns, tomato slices etc.
