Great little cakes, these Made the patties small enough to use as finger food & loved 'em that way! Will be making these again, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag]

My family really liked these! The flavors were great and how can you go wrong with chicken and potatoes! I did use instant mashed potatoes since I didn't have any leftovers on hand and they worked out great. Made for ZWT 7.

Awesome recipe! They are so good and different. My family enjoyed them a lot. Mine seemed to go together well because I made mine small and thick. Very tasty!
