Mix the ingredients together.

Add flour, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and combine well.

Form the mixture into patties.

Heat a good amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and sauté until the bottoms are golden brown.

Turn the patties over and cook until both sides are crispy.

Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Optionally, freeze or refrigerate the patties at this point and reheat whenever desired.

Serve with sour cream or applesauce.
