Cassava Patties

Submitted by Krystal-Belle

"The first time I had these was when I went to Jamaica in 2003 and they were so good that I bought more to bring back to America with me and make at home for my family. So easy to make too! I would serve this with a coconut curry gravy or with whatever kind of brown gravy you like."
