Directions:
In a large bowl, add the mashed potatoes, beans, bell pepper, garlic, chives, and cilantro; stir to combine.
Add in the eggs and salt and pepper to taste; stir to mix well.
Form mixture into eight 4-inch patties.
Put the breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl; dip patties into the crumbs, patting to make the crumbs adhere to the cakes.
In a large nonstick skillet or griddle, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
Add as many cakes as will fit in a single layer.
Brown cakes on one side, then flip to brown on the other side.
Keep the cakes warm in a 250 degree oven while cooking the rest of the pancakes.
