Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans (drained) Canned tuna
- 1.5 cups (prepared) Mashed potatoes
- 0.5 cups (plus additional if dredging) Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks (finely chopped) Green onions
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, egg, and chopped green onions. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a cohesive mixture.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Step 3
If desired, lightly dredge each patty in additional breadcrumbs to create an extra crispy crust.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of cooking oil (vegetable or olive oil works well).
Step 5
Cook the tuna and potato cakes in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through. Add more oil to the pan if necessary between batches.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the tuna and potato cakes warm with a dollop of tartar sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon, or a side salad of your choice.
