Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 large potatoes (about 2 cups mashed), diced, boiled and drained
  • 1 pound white-fleshed fish, COOKED (cod, haddock, pollock, halibut, flounder)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry ground mustard
  • panko breadcrumbs , for coating
  • (Gluten-free use GF panko breadcrumbs)
  • oil for frying
  • Homemade Tartar Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients, except for the breadcrumbs, in a large bowl and mash until thoroughly combined.
    Form the mixture into 8 equal patties and roll them in the panko breadcrumbs.  (You can make smaller patties if you prefer.) Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes or until they've firmed up.
  • Heat some oil in a non-stick pan and fry the patties on each side for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Serve immediately with our BEST homemade tartar sauce!

Notes

  •  To save time, cook the fish and potatoes in advance then mash the ingredients together when you're ready to make the fish cakes.
