Ingredients
1 lb (450g) white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cooked and flaked
2 cups mashed potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or chives)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Preparation
Prepare the fish: Cook the white fish fillets by baking, grilling, or poaching them until they are fully cooked and easily flaked with a fork. Once cooked, flake the fish into small pieces and set aside.
Prepare the mashed potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Let them cool slightly before using.
Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and flaked fish, mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Form the fishcakes: Divide the fish mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a fishcake, forming them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Cook the fishcakes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fishcakes to the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the fishcakes from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil. Serve the Potato Fishcakes warm, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
These Potato Fishcakes are a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the crispy exterior, creamy interior, and flavourful blend of fish and potatoes in every bite!
