- Form the mixture into patties. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
Notes
- You can use either yellow or green split peas; yellow peas will give a brighter hue.
- For an oil-free version, you may try baking the patties, though results may vary.
- These patties freeze well; reheat in a skillet or oven until warmed through.
