Chef's tips
Chill the shaped patties for 20 minutes before frying if they feel too soft to hold together.
Ingredient substitutions
- fresh fish → canned salmon or leftover boiled salt cod
Storage
Keeps refrigerated up to 3 days, or freeze uncooked patties.
Reheating
Reheat in a pan over medium heat or in the oven to keep them crisp.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Mixture too wet to hold shape — drain the fish and potato well
- •Frying at too high heat, which browns the outside before the inside heats through
