MEAT AND POTATO PATTIES

During World War II, when meat was rationed and had to be purchased with tokens, this recipe went a long way in feeding a family. To this day, I still reach for it whenever I want something different from regular hamburgers. By the way, children really like these (just as I did when I was a child!).- Gladys Klein, Burlington Wisconsin

DEPRESSION ERA HAMBURGERS

This recipe was handed down to me from my Great-grandmother who told stories of how clever they had to be to make things stretch during the Depression era My great- grandparents made it by turning their house into a boarding house. One of the meals she made to make sure everyone got some food were these thin burgers. The taste is awesome
