Stir the cabbage and sausage mixture into the cold mashed potatoes and peas until well mixed.

5

In a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat, add a little more butter.

Add large scoops of the mixture to the skillet and press them down slightly to form patties, cooking only four at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Fry the patties until golden on one side, then flip them carefully, mashing back together any that fall apart during the process.
