Please note that apart from the egg, garlic salt, and the tinned salmon, all other quantities vary with the amount of mashed potato you have on hand and the sloppiness of the mixture.

Ingredients

• Mashed potato
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 210g tin of pink salmon
• small handful of grated cheese
• 1/2 cup – 1 cup of bread crumbs

Method

1. Set oven to “bake” and preheat to 75°c
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Using your hands works well to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
3. Using your hands, pack the mixture into balls. Flatten the balls with your hands.
4. Cook the fish cakes in a small amount of oil in a large heavy-based frying pan, cooking them on a medium heat, and five minutes on each side.
5. The cooking of the fish cakes takes a while, as it needs to be done in multiple batches. Put cooked fish cakes on a baking tray and keep them warm in the oven.
