Plan ahead the patties need to chill for at least 6 hours or 24 hours, the longer the better ---1 pound should give you 6 small patties or 4 large I would suggest to make them small to reduce the cooking time, if you are are oven baking then go ahead and make 4 large ---this recipe may be doubled but keep the garlic to the same amount or increase only slightly, these may be browned in a skillet in oil then placed on a baking pan to finish cooking in the oven
