  1. i promised myself i would never make patties again, im not technically good enough, they always fall apart and dont cook right, but i had to try this as hubby loves spam and it sounded good. first off, i used baking potatoes and par-boiled them, and mashed those in instead, i hate the taste of canned potatoes. I found when i added the agg, it went way too wet, even with the flour, so i added about 0.5 cup breadcrumbs to the mix 2 hold it together. The mix made 5 good size patties, and they cooked ok, my lack of experience showed. I think next time maybe a little less cumin, its very overpowering. O, and i used jarred salsaas i was the only one eating salsa. I think i would make again. Thanks. xx
