This is similar to what we call Mock Fish here DJ and akin to the recipe in our EDC called Potato Cakes.  Most people find that recipe doesn't work by using the TMX to grate the potato, it is far better to grate by hand.  For that reason I think it should be in non-TMX recipes but I'll wait until the other moderators come on and see what they think.
