My recipe is similar, with added spices to your liking. I have even added tuna and dill for tuna cakes. Whenever and whatever you use for the cakes make and shape patties to desired size. Place on cookie sheet to chill for 20-30 mins. before placing in hot oil. Cakes will hold their shape much better wuthout falling apart.
