Notes/Tips:
I like mashing the beans in the mixture so that it blends well in patty mixture.
I like to boil and mash my mashed potatoes. I cut them and place in an instant pot with little water and salt. Pressure cook them for 6 mins with natural release. Once released, I peel the potatoes and mash them.
Pretzel buns pair extremely well with the mustard cheese sauce and caramelised onions which is why I highly recommend them.
Cooking on low is very important for that caramelised onion flavor.
Keep whisking the cheese sauce so that no lumps are formed and it all comes together.
