- Form patties: Shape into 2–2.5 inch rounds, about half an inch thick. Most batches yield 10–12 patties. Place them on a plate in a single layer for easy transfer to the skillet.
- Cook until golden: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
Storage and Serving Tips
These patties are make-ahead friendly. Store cooled patties in a container lined with parchment or paper towels to prevent sticking. They stay fresh for up to three days in the fridge and can be reheated in a skillet to restore crispness.
Serve with a light salad, roasted vegetables, or your favorite dipping sauce like mayo or tartar sauce. They’re equally perfect for packed lunches, paired with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or pickles.
Flavor Boosts Without Extra Carbs
Enhance taste with a pinch of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, or a touch of red pepper flakes. Chilling patties before cooking helps firm them up for even browning. For a lighter option, cook in an air fryer at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
