Preparation

3. Sauté the patties in a shallow non-stick frying pan on medium high heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown
4. Serve hot with Tartar Sauce or Aioli.  Fried Parsley and Lemon slices make a nice garnish

Serve with ALEXIA OVEN FRIES, OVEN REDS or YUKON GOLD JULIENNE FRIES. Cook potatoes according to the directions on the package.

Note: To make fresh bread crumbs, simply cut off the crust from bread slices or rolls. Using a food processor, carefully chop the bread pieces to make light and fluffy fresh breadcrumbs.
