Follow the same recipe you generally use but add a cup of crushed corn
chips rather than crackers.

I found where I tried to "spruce it up". Yeah, dried onions, garlic and
parsley. Mom didn't do that. The basic recipe is outside the * marks.

I don't keep sour cream in the house unless I buy it for use in
something specific. Mayonannaise is also not something I think much
about although I usually have a small jar in the fridge. It worked well
for this when I didn't feel like going out to buy sour cream.

Corn Doodle Burgers

1 can red salmon, drained and small bones removed
2 c. corn chips, crushed
1/2 tsp. pepper
2-3 beaten eggs
2 Tbs. sour cream (I've used mayonnaise with the same results)
*1/2 Tbs. onion, minced (I use Penzey's dehydrated minced onion)
*1 clove garlic, minced (I use Penzey's granulated garlic)
*1 tsp. dried parsley

Drain and mash the canned salmon. Blend in all ingredients together in a
mixing bowl and let sit for a bit to reconsitute the onion and garlic.

Form mixture into small patties; you should get about 8 of them out of
the mixture. Heat about 1/4 cup of oil in a 12 inch skillet. Brown four
patties at a time. Turn them after about 3 minutes and fry until both
sides of the patties are golden brown. Remove the patties to a paper
plate or paper towel and cook the remaining patties.
