Instructions

  • Grab a big bowl and toss in your flaked fish, mashed potatoes, onion, parsley, egg, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up until the ingredients look evenly combined.
  • Divide the mix into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a patty shape.
  • Coat each patty lightly with bread crumbs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until ready for frying.
  • Cook each side for about 4 or 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Drain the fish cakes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.
