Meat and Potato Patties
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 25 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
During World War II, when meat was rationed and had to be purchased with tokens, this recipe went a long way in feeding a family. To this day, I still reach for it whenever I want something different from regular hamburgers. By the way, children really like these (just as I did when I was a child!).— Gladys Klein, Burlington Wisconsin
