   Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Using a spatula, transfer bean mounds to pan and gently press to flatten into patties, each about as wide as a burger bun. TIP: If your patties fall apart, simply press them back together when assembling the burgers. Cook bean patties until golden brown and crisp, ⏱️ 6 minutes per side. (TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches, adding another drizzle of oil between each batch.) Transfer patties to a plate; wipe out bowl. Halve and toast potato buns until golden.

   cooking oil: 2 tsp, potato buns: 4 unit
