Made these this evening! LOVED IT! I didn’t realize I was out of garlic so I subbed garlic salt and it turned out great!
Good to hear! Thanks so much!
These were VERY sticky but yummy! They were hard to form into patties due to the stickiness. Any suggestions on how to make them less sticky. I literally had a mess both times I made this.
Oh my toddler asked for more helpings!
I don’t have that experience. I’m wondering if your proportions were off. I use 2 tablespoons of olive oil, mine easily form into patties. Perhaps add a bit more olive oil and see what happens. Direct message me if you have more questions.
