Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tbsp + 5 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
1 lb boneless cod filet
salt and pepper
2 cups mashed potato (leftover, or just microwave 2 potatoes skin-on)
1 large egg
1 green onion (white and green parts, minced)
up to 1 cup fresh bread crumbs (I grate a frozen bun on a box grater)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp brined capers
2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
1 green onion (white and green parts, minced)
Salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cod, season with salt and pepper; cook until just barely opaque and flakey - better to ever-so-slightly undercook the fish than overcook it at this stage, as you'll be cooking it again in the cakes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and break into large flakes with your hands. Add mashed potato, egg, green onion and enough bread crumbs so that the mixture holds a patty shape (if using leftover mash with milk or other liquid added, you'll definitely need the whole cup of crumbs). Use your hands or a big spoon to work everything together until well-combined.
  • Place flour on a shallow plate. Form potato mixture into 16 equal patties between the palms of your hands, dredging both sides in the flour and transferring to a baking sheet as you go. Refrigerate fish cakes 20 minutes to firm up.
  • Wipe out the fish skillet and return to medium heat; add remaining oil. When shimmering hot, add several fish cakes - you'll need to cook them in a few batches to avoid over-crowding the pan. Serve with tartar sauce.

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium mealy potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons cream
4 tablespoons butter
1 pound haddock fillets
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Approximately 1 cup plain, dry bread crumbs
Bacon drippings and cooking oil

Steps:

  • Gently boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until they are tender. Drain and mash. Add the cream and butter and mix well. Set aside, but do not refrigerate.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, simmer fish fillets in water to cover until they are cooked through. Drain well, flake the fish and mix it with potatoes.
  • Add the chopped onions and lightly beaten egg to the fish-potato mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. This recipe may be made ahead of time up to this point and refrigerated, covered.
  • When ready to cook, form the fish mixture into cakes similar to small hamburgers, about two and one-half inches in diameter. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate or dry surface and pat the fish cakes in the crumbs to coat well.
  • Heat one tablespoon of bacon dripping (for flavor) and one tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Saute the fish cakes until they are brown on both sides. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose firm fish fillets that will hold together well when mashed. White-fleshed fish such as cod, haddock, or hake are good options.
  • If you're using frozen fish, thaw it completely before mashing it. This will help prevent the fish cakes from becoming watery.
  • Be sure to mash the fish and potatoes thoroughly until they are well combined. This will help the fish cakes hold together better.
  • Don't overcook the fish cakes. Cook them just until they are heated through, or they will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, remoulade, or cocktail sauce are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Fish cakes with potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own preferences. Whether you like them crispy or soft, mild or spicy, there is a fish cake recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fish cakes a try!
