Ingredients
2 Large Potatoes-peeled and halved
500 gram Trevally fillets-cubed, (or any fish)
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Onion-grated
1 tbsp Parsley-freshly chopped
1 Egg
3 tbsp Oil-for frying
Directions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot of water, bring the water to a boil. Let the potatoes cook until they are almost tender.
- Add the fish to the pot and let the fish and potatoes cook until they are both soft. Drain well and transfer the potatoes and fish to a large mixing bowl.
- Add butter, onion, parsley, and egg to the bowl; mash the mixture together. Shape the mixture into patties.
- Heat oil in a large frypan over a medium-high heat. Fry the patties on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.
Notes
- Fish and Potato Cakes be frozen and still tastes great after two months.
- If you are using already cooked fish in this recipe you can add it to the potatoes after the potatoes have cooked.
