Potato Fish Cakes
Report
I normally use leftover mashed potatoes for this recipe, but if you want to know how I make my mashed potatoes, they are in this recipe. Any mashed potato recipe you like will do.

Instructions
- Set your oven to "warm" and put a cooling rack set over a baking sheet in the oven. Mix all the cake ingredients together in a large bowl. I make pretty smooth mashed potatoes, so there aren't lumps. If you have lumpy mashed potatoes, you might want to crush them with your fingers.
- Form into patties of whatever size you like. I prefer about 2 to 3 tablespoons, up to 1/4 cup. But even 1/2 cup fish cakes are nice. Set them in the fridge for a few minutes to set.
- Heat enough oil to come halfway up the fish cakes (you'll need to guess on this one), and bring the oil to between 325°F and 340°F. You don't want things super hot here.
- Fry the cakes, making sure they don't touch each other, over medium-high heat, until they are nicely browned -- about 2 minutes per side without a dusting of flour or cornmeal, about 3 minutes with it. Set the finished cakes on the rack in the oven.
- Serve with the sauce of your choice, a salad, and a glass of white wine or a beer.
Notes
- If you skip the cornmeal or flour, the cakes will brown very quickly, so you will have to watch them closely so they don't burn.
