Burger Number Eleven - Planked Mashed Potato Burger

These burgers are for all the vegetarians out there and definitely worth a look as there is lot of room for improvisation. First up, I put some potatoes to to boil ( I slightly misjudged the quantities.. ) and once they were fully cooked and I added a ton of butter, garlic, splash of milk and then mashed them up. 

Once cooled, I added some green onion and parsley ( and more butter) and then formed the mash into burger-sized patties using an ice cream scoop. Darren then sprinkled some Parmesan on top of the potato burgers and we placed them on a [soaked] cedar plank ready for cooking.


And here are the finished burgers; light, golden and smoky from the cedar plank.

They were good, but next time Darren  suggested that we should add more butter during the 'mash' and possibly even get something mechanical involved in the mashing process to ensure the potatoes are totally smooth. We would also add more cheese to juice them up a little. 

All that said, they are an interesting change from regular potatoes and definitely worth experimenting with.
