Do your kids eat tuna? My kids love tuna and they can eat tuna with a spoon out of the can with a slice of bread. And, they love my tuna patties now. And yet, I must admit that when they were kids it took them a while to enjoy tuna or any other fish. Not anymore. Now they love tuna and they love my fish cakes, especially those with potato. Seems like this is a very common recipe and one that almost all moms make. I remember my mom would use the leftover mashed potatoes to make these patties.
Step-by-step: Tuna potato patties
Saute – If using fresh, saute the chopped onions and garlic in a frying pan on medium heat with a tsp of olive oil until onions are translucent. Set aside (You can also use onion and garlic powder) Tuna – Drain the can of tuna in a colander. Shred the tuna flakes well so there are no lumps. Set aside Potato – Grate the potato and squeeze out any excess moisture. Do this just when you are ready to assemble to prevent the potatoes from getting oxidized.
Combine – In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna along with potato, onion, garlic, herbs, spices, seasoning, flour, and eggs. Shape – Divide the mixture into 6 medium or 8 small patties. Fry – Add oil or butter to a frying pan or cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until lightly golden. If necessary, drizzle some more olive oil. Serve hot with ketchup, mayonnaise, or tartar sauce
