SALMON AND MASHED POTATO CAKES

Hey - looks I've gone from a furniture makeover blog to a food one - look out Rachel Ray LMHO !!!

Truth is I haven't had much time lately to work on furniture - but I DO happen to have to cook - often.
This used to be something one of my Grandmothers made ( Estelle - not Helen ! You can get to know them HERE )

Another quick recipe ( notice most of my recipes are quick? ) and a great way to used left over potatoes.

What you need :

1 tin of salmon ( red sockeye ) I have no idea why I pulled out 2 tins in the pic - it only takes one !
bread crumbs
1 cup and a half of mashed potatoes
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup flour
1/2 small onion ( or shallots or green onion which I normally use but was out of )
pepper

Clean the salmon - removing all bones and combine in a bowl with the mashed potatoes

add your flour

and pepper

Add beaten egg and mix all together thoroughly ( I've been known to add a few chilli flakes in as well )
and form patties - placing them on a wax paper lined baking sheet

and then bread them - I find it easiest to sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top ( since these are quite soft )
and then carefully flip them with a spatula to do the other side.

Here's the thickness of each patty

and then fry them in either a little crisco - or for really decadent ones - a little butter

a few minutes on each side and serve them - with anything other than potatoes lol

Suzan says - OMG - aren't they great?
John says - They're ok
Suzan says - really?  I love them !
John says - I think a tin of salmon is meant to be put in sandwiches...............

I think it's time he learns to cook...............don't you?

Please don't take his word for it - they really are delicious ( if you like salmon - that's really really important - you have to like salmon lol )

Have a wonderful day everyone -
I'm going to be spending mine with baby blue !

Hugs,
me
