Ingredients
- ¾ pound potatoes peeled and quartered
- 1 pound White fish fillets such as cod or tilapia
- ¼ cup onion finely chopped
- 2 large eggs beaten
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
- Lemon wedges for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Then, drain and mash them until smooth. You should have about 1½ cups of mashed potatoes.
- Cook the fish fillets in boiling water until they flake easily with a fork, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well, pat dry, and flake the fish into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flaked fish, chopped onion, and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Form the mixture into 4 patties about the size of a hamburger. Place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve immediately, with a lemon wedge for garnish.
