Ingredients:

• • 1 ½ cups cooked salmon (or you can use a mix of 1 cup salmon and ½ cup cooked, flaked and boned haddock)
• • 2 lbs potatoes which have been peeled and sliced
• • 1 tbsp good quality ketchup
• • 1 tsp high quality Worcestershire sauce
• • salt and black pepper (freshly ground) to taste
• • green portion of one green onion, chopped finely
• • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped to a fine consistency
• • 1 egg, lightly beaten
• • Lemon wedges (for serving)
• • Enough fat for deep frying

• • 1 egg, lightly beaten
• • 2 tbsp cool water
• • 1 cup dry bread crumbs (Italian or panko work well and give a good flavor)

When potatoes are smooth and lump free, slowly mix in flakes of fish. Add salt and pepper and then incorporate the parsley and green onion as well. Add the egg and mix it to bind the patty mix together and to keep it from crumbling when you handle it.

Shape patties, being careful not to let mix crumble or break. Place the formed patties on an ungreased tray or a plain, ungreased cookie sheet and chill for thirty minutes in the fridge or freezer. This helps to keep the shape of the patty when you are breading and cooking it.

Prepare the coating mixture by combining beaten egg and water. To coat the patties, hold patties in floured hands. Dip the cake into the coating in the following order: begin with egg and water mixture and then place patty in breadcrumbs. Turn to coat. Make sure that the breadcrumbs are pressed firmly into the patty to prevent them from coming off during cooking.

Chill patties for another thirty minutes.

Patties should be fried in hot oil for four to five minutes. They should be crisp when they are ready to eat. At this point, the patties can be served with lemon wedges or can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated later.
