Instructions
Boil the potatoes until soft, then drain them and mash them (see hints below). It is important that the potato is free from lumps.
Mix the flaked fish into the potatoes, gradually adding seasonings, onion and parsley. Add the corn if you are using it. Bind it together by mixing in the beaten egg.
Shape the mixture into patties. Put them onto a tray or cookie sheet and chill in the freezer or top of fridge for 30 minutes.
Flour your hands and dip each cake into the beaten egg mixed with water, and then coat with the bread crumbs. Press the crumbs well into the cakes. Chill for another 30 minutes.
Fry for about 4-5 minutes until crisp.
Serve with lemon wedges.
The fried salmon cakes can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated as required. This recipe makes 12 patties.
