Black Bean And Potato Cakes

I got this recipe from our local beans and grains store. The mild flavor of the cakes goes well with a hot, spicy fresh salsa. A good way to use up left-over mashed potatoes, too.

Steps

In a large bowl , add the mashed potatoes , beans , bell pepper , garlic , chives , and cilantro.
Stir to combine.
Add in the eggs and salt and pepper to taste.
Stir to mix well.
Form mixture into eight 4-inch patties.
Put the breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl.
Dip patties into the crumbs , patting to make the crumbs adhere to the cakes.
In a large nonstick skillet or griddle , heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
Add as many cakes as will fit in a single layer.
Brown cakes on one side , then flip to brown on the other side.
Keep the cakes warm in a 250 degree oven while cooking the rest of the pancakes.
Serve hot with salsa.
