Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • About 2 cups of mashed potatoes with salt butter and milk added
  • Leftover cooked salmon or tinned salmon about 12 to 14 oz
  • 1 egg
  • About 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley

To coat

  • 1 egg beaten with a tablespoon of water
  • breadcrumbs with a dash of salt and pepper

To fry

  • olive oil or grapeseed oil

Instructions

  1. Put the mashed potatoes, salmon, egg, salt, pepper and parsley together in a bowl. Mix all the ingredients together using a fork to break up the fish, then form into patties.
  2. Dip patties into beaten egg, using a brush to coat them evenly. (Refrigerate first if the cakes are too soft.) Then coat in the breadcrumbs.
  3. Place on a baking sheet and continue until the remaining mixture is finished.
  4. Fry gently over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, adding oil as needed.
  5. Place on a paper-towel-lined sheet to absorb the excess oil.
  6. Serve and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Tip: If you have any leftover hard boiled eggs you can chop these up and add to the fishcake mixture.
