salmon and tuna patties with potato recipe

This is one of my go-to meals to serve up the night before I do my grocery shop. I always tend to keep canned salmon or tuna in my pantry along with spare potatoes and onions. I prefer to use spring onion but you can use a regular brown onion if you desire. Simply boil the potatoes, then add your canned tuna or salmon, mayonnaise and salt and pepper to season.

Coat each patty in flour, then place the patties into the egg mixture and then the breadcrumbs. Use two separate bowls and one hand for each bowl so that you don’t end up with sticky fingers.

I like to make a double batch of these salmon or tuna patties to freeze and have on hand for busy nights. I then simply defrost them and cook in a frying pan until browned and heated through.
