It was heavenly and was a big hit at our bbq. I used frozen shredded potatoes and didn's use mushrooms. Cooked them first of course. I only had a few slices of swiss cheese so i tore them into pieces. I also used shredded mild cheddar which was ok but it wasn't as good as the swiss. For each burger, I shaped the ground beef mixture into two very thin patties, placed the potato/cheese mixture in the middle and sealed the edges by pinching/twisting/tucking. I made the mistake of just pinching the edges and the two patties separated on the grill, so i would suggest even somewhat kneading the edges with your fingers. Prepping these burgers were a little more time consuming than I wished, but IT WAS WORTH EVERY MINUTE. I'm so glad i doubled the recipe and froze extras. It's even tasty with ketchup and rice or mashed potatoes.

Thank you! These were excellent and the whole family loved them. I changed it around only because my youngest can't stand swiss cheese or mushrooms. I used shredded cheddar and real bacon, crumbled, not the imitation stuff. I also decided to divide the meat into 12 portions for stuffing. I laid out the first six, topped with the potato/cheese/bacon, then used the remaining six portions to top them off and seal them closed. My other "cheat" was to use thawed shredded hash browns instead of shredding my own potato. These burgers will be made again at my house for sure! Thank you very much..

Good burgers! Was unsure of how to actually cook the burgers w/o burning the potato mushrm mix, so we just fried the mixture and placed it on burger then put a slice of swiss on top, burgers were tasty! Served it with a guac dip & potato salad.

these were so good! never woulda thought to put potatoes in a burger! i used: 1 lb ground turkey (w/onion soup mixh, egg beaters, splash of worchestershire) to make 4 burgers, 1 small potato, 1/2 wedge of laughing cow swiss cheese light, garlic, and turkey bacon to make it a bit healthier. these were big and juicy and yum! i cooked the potato with garlic before stuffing it between buger halves- i will definitely make again! (i put jalapenos in the ones for my bf... he looooved them!)

Very good but my only complaint is that the potatoes did not cook at all. I think the recipe should call for cooked/microwaved potatoes. Other than they they were perfect.

These were yummy, I used the suggested shredded hash browns inside instead of the potato, just make sure they are thawed first and add a bit of salt and pepper to the hash brown mix. I also added chopped fresh onions into the filling.

I halved the onion soup mix and the burgers were still great. My only complaint is that I didn't get as much flavour as I'd like from the potato and mushrooms so I'll try frying them up first next time. Also, as suggested by others, sandwiching the mix between 2 thin patties is far easier than making a pocket. Can't wait to try this recipe with other fillings!
