Ingredients
1 tin of drained tuna, salmon or any cooked fish you like.
2 large potatoes
Onions
Parsley fresh or dried – to taste
Salt and pepper – to taste
5-10 tbsp flour
2-3 tbsp oil to cook in
Optional
Chutney to enhance the flavour.
Method
Peel the potatoes and boil them until soft. Drain them and leave to cool without a lid.
While the potatoes are cooking chop the onion add the parsley, salt, pepper chutney, Tuna into a large bowl.
Mash the potatoes in the pan with a little butter, and season.
Add the mash to the fish and onion. Mix well.
TIP: Make sure your mixture is not to wet, you will need to form patties from it. If it is too wet, add a little flour.
Dust your hands with flour to prevent excess sticking. Scoop up a portion of the mixture and shape into a ball. Press lightly to make a patty shape.
Cover the surface with flour and ensure the fishcake is coated in a light layer before frying.
Heat a frying pan with 2tbsp oil. Fry them over a medium heat for approx. 5 minutes each side, until the outer cake is nicely browned and they are hot throughout.
You can then eat them with anything of your choice ie. vegetables, eggs, or salad.
I used one tin of tuna and the above ingredients and l made six. They are suitable to home freeze and enjoy at a later occasion.
Bon appetite.
