3. Heat the oil in a large skillet, and brown the patties over medium heat, on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook, turning the patties occasionally, until they are crisp and cooked through, about 6 minutes. (You may have to do this in two batches.) Serve immediately.
