Granny used to fry these for supper when we had left over peas

These are good. Mom has made this before! They are a great alternative to sausage.

i used to make this all the time, but i was lazy--i mashed the peas and added Janes Crazy Salt--makes the pea patties taste just like sausage patties.

sometimes id add some crumbled crackers and an egg for binder, add some chopped onion and celery and stuff and make 'meat loaf patties' and fry them up. good stuff.

ive also mashed up the peas into a paste, add the onion, celery, red pepper, crackers, and egg, whatever i had on hand and then chopped up leftover chicken or turkey or whats left in the fridge and fry that up---works great every time.
