Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the Russet potatoes into small chunks. Add them to a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Add the mashed potatoes, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. You should get approximately 8 cakes.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the tuna cakes in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 6

To make the honey mustard dipping sauce, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 7

Serve the tuna cakes warm alongside the honey mustard dipping sauce. Enjoy!
