    2. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cooked and mashed red potatoes the cilantro and the remaining 2 cups of black beans. Fold gently to combine and chill for 30 minutes. Form mixture into 10 patties and dredge each in the bread crumbs to coat.
    3. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook burgers in batches until outsides are crisp and lightly browned, turning once, about 5 minutes total.
