I followed the recipe as listed, except I was out of green onions. I also took the suggestion to use fresh corn. Definitely loved this recipe. The fresh corn was worth the extra work, and will remember the green onions for next time too. I also love how this can be tweeked to suit your taste. Will be making again!

Fantastic! It started out sort of runny when I dropped the mixture into the frying pan but it browned and flipped nicely. I substituted chopped vidalia for the green onion and added 1T chopped jalapeno to the mixture. I made a red pepper roumalade sauce for dipping and it was OFF THE CHART! My husband said it was "restaurant quality" and he rarely compliments my cooking. Thank you for this wonderful recipe! Roumalade sauce: 1 heaping T of mayo 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 large roasted red pepper (from a jar, drained) Dash of garlic powder, red pepper, salt, pepper 1 tsp horseradish Mix together and refrigerate.

i ended up adding another egg because it wasnt holding at all and i was just frying corn, and i would add more cilantro and salt next time, was a bit bland my first try. but is yummy if you like corn.

Excellent! Followed the recipe to letter with the exception of adding 1.5 tablespoons of half and half and using avocado oil.

I added about 1.5 T to mixture cause it looked a little dry. I pressed the patties in my burger press; they held beautiful. We loved them.

Delicious! But I found they didn’t hold together very well. Should I try 2 eggs?

Have a question. Can these be cooked in an air fryer? They look delicious.
