Cajun Patty Cakes

This is a simple tasty dish I whipped up to serve to friends during summer picnics and is also good for those cold winter days when you're stuck indoors and you want to kick it a little. You can eat the cakes as is or put them on buns {I Like Putting Them On Whole Wheat Buns With A Dollop of Spicy Garlic Dill Mayo}.
