Haricot Bean and Potato Cakes

== Description ==
Purchased from Patterson Estate in Tyler, Texas in 1992. Notation on card says this came from a Ladies Home Journal printed in 1972. Does this recipe make sense to anyone? I can’t figure it out. 
== Ingredients ==
* 1-½ pounds haricot beans
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
* 1 pound firm mashed potatoes
* 4 ounces fat boiled Bacon
* 2 teaspoon dried sage
* 1 teaspoon Sugar
* 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
== Directions ==
# Soak the beans for 24 hours then simmer for 2 hours in enough water to keep them covered.
# Mash beans thoroughly and mix with Potato, chopped Bacon, sage, pepper and Sugar.
# If the paste seems stiff, add a little bean water.
# Grease a cake tin and sprinkle the sides and bottom with the bread crumbs.
# Press mixture into tin and cover with greased paper and bake in 300 degree oven for 1 hour.
