Ingredients

  • 400g Potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 x 185g tins Tinned tuna, drained well
  • 1 Egg
  • 3 Spring onions, finely sliced
  • 1 Lemon, zest and juice, plus extra wedges
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs, divided
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper

You’ll need: Saucepan, Large frying pan

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes until soft. Drain well and mash until smooth. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

  2. Mix the potato with the tuna, egg, spring onions, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs and a good pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Shape into 8 patties and press into the remaining breadcrumbs to coat. Chill for 10 minutes if you have time, which helps them hold together.

  4. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook 4 patties for 3–4 minutes each side until golden and hot in the centre. Repeat with the remaining oil and patties.

  5. Serve with lemon wedges.

Storage

Fridge up to 2 days in a sealed container. Reheat in a frying pan or oven until piping hot all the way through. Freezing not recommended.
