Depending on personal preference you can either shallow or deep fry. Serve hot with choice of sauce as a snack or even serve as a side 

Notes

This recipe yields about 12 to 13 (2″ diameter, 1/2″ thickeness) cutlets.

Another idea is to make the patties little bigger and sandwich between buns to make a Veggie Burger.
