Notes
Tip from my kitchen: the mixture is meant to be quite soft – that is what makes the burgers creamy inside – so shape the patties with wet hands and don't skip the rest in the fridge. If it still won't hold, a spoonful more oats fixes it. The patties taste just as good the next day, briefly crisped up in a pan, and they freeze well once fried.
