Servings: 4
Calories: 796kcal
Equipment
- Large frying pan
- Large mixing bowl
- 3 shallow bowls
Ingredients
- 4 spring onions sliced
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 20 g butter
- 800 g cooked potato mashed
- 100 g frozen sweetcorn thawed
- 1 tsp parsley
- 2 110g tins of tuna drained
- Salt and pepper to season
For the coating:
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- Cooking oil for frying
Method
- Gently fry your spring onions and garlic in oil/butter for two minutes over a medium heat. Remove from the heat and place in a large bowl, leaving to cool slightly.
- Once cool, add the rest of the fishcake ingredients. Mix well using your hands, then shape into patties.
- Next, set up your ‘fishcake prep line’: three bowls, one with flour, the next with egg and cold water and the third with breadcrumbs.
- Coat the fishcake in plain flour, then dip in the egg. Finally, coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat with the other fishcakes, then chill in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and shallow-fry the fishcakes for four to five minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper, then serve with simple mint or carrot salad.
