Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • for the bun:
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • for the burgers:
  • 1 15 oz can Bush’s Black Beans, drained
  • heaping ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • 1½ tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • ¾ cup corn
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 stick scallion
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ¾ cup yellow onion, diced
  • for cooking:
  • 4 tbsp EVOO

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Cut potatoes into small thin, long rectangles.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Throw all ingredients into a Ziploc bag & toss until potatoes are fully coated. Pour fries onto parchment paper so that they are next to one another not on top of each other.
  • Bake fries for 45 minutes, flipping after 30 minutes.
  • Take 3 cups of the french fries & place them in a large mixing bowl. Add in the eggs & flour & toss to combine. Pour french fry mixture into the mini springform pan. Place in freezer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove pan from freezer & place large skillet over medium heat. Open springform pan & drop the mixture gently onto the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes & then flip & cook for another 8 minutes. Make sure all sides are cooked as well by carefully rotating the pan or bun. Set aside.
  • Wash & drain beans. Add all ingredients to food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into bowl & freezer for 1 hour. Pour EVOO into large skillet. Roll mixture into 4 burgers & place in oil (if difficult to make patties, either freeze for longer or use clean mini springform pan again for shaping). Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from oil & set aside.
  • Place burger patty on top of bun & top with another bun. Serve & enjoy!
