    I totally should have read the directions all the way before I made these! I didn't know how bit to make the patties, I didn't cool the potatoes before I started making the patties (burned myself!), and definately didn't let them sit 3-4 minutes per side.

    Now that I have been shamed by not reading the directions, I think I'll try them again soon! This time, the right way.
