Okay so I found this recipe on Myrecipes.com and I thought this is sounded yummy if I just traded the pancake batter for self-rising cornmeal. I had a few issues with this recipe. First, I thought it was bland. Second, I was not fond of the gravy. It smelled and tasted weird. Now with that being said, my sister-in-law, husband and 3 year old niece loved the cakes and the gravy! It must be a southern thing.
I would definitely make them again, but I might consult with my mom to see if she has any suggestions to "fix" them. I am thinking maybe paprika? It definitely needs something. Feel free to experiment. I will repost if I ever mess with them again.
Chicken & Potato Cakes with Gravy
adapted from MyRecipes.com
Ingredients
2 cups self-rising cornmeal
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded colby-Jack cheese blend
1 cup refrigerated shredded hash browns
4 green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Mix together cornmeal and milk in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Stir in chicken and next 6 ingredients, stirring just until blended.
Take a handful of the mixture and form about 4-5" flat patties. Cook on a hot (350°), lightly greased griddle or large nonstick skillet for about 5 minutes or until the bottom is golden. Flip and cook another 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with the gravy below.
