The recipe sounded so good! First try in actual practice, not so successful. A few modifications to make it better for my 7.5 month old babe:1. Fry the onion first (otherwise the burger would be overwhelmed with a raw onion taste). Add the carrot to the frying pan afterwards (or not, depending on if you prefer a more raw or a more cooked consistency in the burger, as the carrot doesn't cook much in the oven).2. Only 1-2 medium potatoes rather than 4. I found the mashed potatoes were overwhelming in quantity and turned out more like fries with a bit of other stuff in it, rather than potato and black bean burgers.3. It does not specify the size of the sausages. I made them much too big and they immediately fell apart when the babe handled them, and did not end up in her mouth, though I could tell she didn't mind the taste. The second batch I made into tiny little sausages the size of my baby finger, and kept them in the oven for 25 minutes at 190 so that they developed a bit of crust and wouldn't fall apart. Thank you!
