Bland bland bland. Tasted like grainy potatoes with corn mushed in. They fell apart before, during, and after cooking. What a waste of time!

The first time I made these they fell apart. The second time I traded the 1/3 cup of cornmeal for one package of jiffy corn bread mix and one egg. They held together and tasted great. I shared this recipe with other family members too.

At first I wasn't sure these were going to turn out. I let the mixture sit for 5 minutes or so to let the milk soak in. Then I was able to make them into patties. I also added some cayenne pepper after I tasted the first batch and they were kind of bland. An interesting mixture of potato pancake and corn fritter.
