Wouldn't the texture be better if you blend the ingredients together before making the patties? it looks kinda odd with the lentils visible.

I could never believe the cost of pre-made patties.  They're worse than pre-sweetened breakfast cereal in a raw materials vs price kind of way.

I'm an omnivore, but I would make these if they were really tasty. Recipes in the past had to be smothered in something like maggie sauce to taste acceptable. 

I'm bookmarking to try a quarter batch, if they live up to the hype, I imagine a hamburger press would be well worth the outlay.

The mushrooms are the only thing in the recipe that isn't dirt cheap. I do love my umami though.

Not bad, but not exactly what I was looking for.

I mixed up about a third size batch, used 1 egg and i used instant potatoes. By adding the potatoes dry, I could "walk" up to the right consistency with additional fluid.

I even added a dash of fish sauce to up the umami.

The first one was pretty good, but it fell apart in the pan. I added about 1 Tbsp of white all purpose flour to the remaining mix. That seemed to help

I liked the patties to be pretty thin, maybe 3/8 inch, because that lets more of the mashed potatoes brown.

 I have made almost the same thing. If you leave out the eggs and add a little more mashed potatoes you can get the same results. 

I have also made these with baby bella mushrooms. Sooo, good.

HINT: a little balsamic vinegar makes it even better.
