Ari's Spicy Lentil patties

This is one of my favorite quick dishes to make. Yields about a dozen patties, depending on the size you make them.

Preparation

Cook lentils for 1/2 hour in about 2 cups of water.
While the lentils are cooking, mix all other ingredients except bread crumbs in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Drain lentils quickly, and add to the rest of the ingredients.
Add homemade bread crumbs, and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
It should NOT be really thick.
It should be very moist.
Don't worry about the patties falling apart, as the starch from the raw potato will bind the burger together as it cooks.

Form into patties and either bake on cookie sheet or fry in a non stick pan until done.
I prefer to use a little olive oil to fry them in because it gives it a very nice flavor.

The patties usually turn out moist enough that you don't need gravy or sauce of any kind, but if you like, a bit of tomato sauce or salsa is nice.

Leftovers can either be frozen for a couple of weeks, or use them the next day for a sandwich filling.
(The flavor is absorbed much more the second day and is yummy).
