Notes
Grate the potato on the fine side of the grater and squeeze it well to remove excess water, preventing the mixture from becoming too soft. The breadcrumbs help give structure to the patties, but the amount may vary slightly depending on the moisture of the potato and beef. Shape them slightly flat for more even frying. Fry in hot oil, but not excessively high heat, so they brown outside and cook well inside.
