Fish Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound cooked white fish (such as cod or haddock), chopped finely
• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fish, mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, parsley, green onions, Dijon mustard, eggs, salt, and pepper.
2. Using clean hands, mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into 8 patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
5. Carefully add the fish cakes to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
6. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Use a slotted spatula to transfer the fish cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
