Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into cubes, then boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fish

    In a skillet, cook the white fish fillets over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, flake the fish into small pieces.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, flaked fish, green onions, eggs, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and fresh parsley until well combined.

  2. 4

    Form the Mixture

    Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter, and coat each patty with breadcrumbs.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Fish Cakes

    Add the fish cakes to the skillet in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fish cakes hot, garnished with additional parsley and accompanied by a dipping sauce or lemon wedges if desired.
