Potato'n Salmon Cakes

Quick easy recipe to make after a hard day's work. For the mashed potatoes use plain cooked potatoes mashed with no added ingredients. Just cook extra potatoes the night before and take out what you will need for this recipe. If you want a little spice add 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes I like a bit of Tartar sauce and a green salad along side or a couple of steamed vegetables. Great summer dish. This recipe goes a long way from one small can of salmon. I would like to stress use leftover cooked potatoes not left over mashed potatoes that already have got a lot of extra ingredients in them!

6 cakes (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (213 g) can salmon, skin & bones removed (I prefer sockeye but in this recipe pink is fine too)

  • 1 1/2 cups left over mashed potatoes
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • salt & pepper
  • 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons onions, minced
  • 3/4 cup fresh breadcrumb (Panko are best)
  • vegetable oil cooking spray, for frypan (or if you wish use butter mixed with oil for really crisp cakes but watch the calories go up)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix all the ingredients except the bread crumbs, stir well.
  2. 2
    Form into 6 cakes.
  3. 3
    Coat with crumbs.
  4. 4
    Fry until nicely browned on the outside and heated through, apprx 5 minutes each side Serve.

Quick and easy and very delicious. I used instant mashed potatoes and it worked fine. My husband thought they were wonderful, the best salmon cakes ever. I did use a small amount of butter and olive oil to saute them.

    I've never used Panko, so I don't know what I'm missing by just using crumbs from Italian bread, but it's wonderful all the same. I used leftover mashed potatoes made with cream, salt, pepper & butter, and the salmon was home-canned (with lemon) by a friend, so the amount can't be precise (but using two jars has worked wonderfully both times). The second time I made this recipe, I used mashed potatoes I'd frozen with slightly less good results--but still delicious. Thanks, Bergy! I think this will be a staple in our menu.

    Hi Bergy; Made and devoured those marvelous Potato Salmon Cakes. I was given some fresh chopped salmon from my Fish Market, and wanted to make your Salmon Cakes. I used Panko Bread Crumbs as I had some left over. The cakes turned out so nice and crisp and the inside was absolutely delicious. I ate 3 cakes all by myself and the other 3, will be making them today, again for myself. Thanks Bergy, great recipe. "Uncle Bill"

    i wasn't too faithful to this recipe but it gets all the credit since i used it as a template to make my own. i added some lemon juice and used green onions too and chopped celery that i needed to get rid off. also, omitted the flour, as they held up well enough with the potato. i didn't incorporate the egg into the whole mix (i don't like too much egg and wanted just enough to bind 'em), just dipped the cakes into it and coated with the crumbs. thanks for a splendid recipe!
