Chef's tips
Chill the shaped patties for 20 minutes before frying if the mixture feels soft, so they hold together better.
Ingredient substitutions
- white fish → canned salmon for a different, equally traditional version
Storage
Keeps 2 days in the fridge.
Reheating
Reheat in a frying pan over medium heat to re-crisp, or in a 180C oven for 10 minutes.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Overmixing, which makes cakes dense
- •Frying at too high heat, browning the outside before the inside heats through
