Tips & Warnings
Keeping the cakes small makes it less likely they'll fall apart. (They still taste good fallen apart, but they don't look as nice.)
Serve with ketchup or Tabasco sauce (or both).
You could even make a quick vegetarian meal of these by topping the cakes with sautéed mushrooms.

Fried up a couple, chopped sweet onion, cilantro, serrano pepper, some shredded cheese, a squeeze of lime, some hot sauce, in a flour tortilla. Pretty darn good, will definitely try again!

Don't forget, a "loaded" version by mixing in sour cream, chopped fresh chives, shredded cheddar cheese, and bacon bits would be equally as satisfying as an appetizer or enough can make a quick lunch..
