POTATO'N SALMON CAKES



Potato'n Salmon Cakes image

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!

POTATO CAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON



Potato Cakes with Smoked Salmon image

I've done many versions of potato pancakes, in my life, but this has got to be the easiest. I think I shocked myself by making it with smash/potato flakes (this is the correct terminology for instant mashed potato granules), but there's always got to be a first time. And they taste wonderful, so there is no need to feel bad. But if having an ingredient like this in your store or cupboard makes you feel too trailer-trash for words, then go to some expensive health store and buy a packet of organic potato flakes instead. I do understand. I have to tell you that if you make these with 1 cup potato flakes and no flour or baking powder, you have the most stodgily fabulous squat little cakes to eat with a proper fried breakfast. These are mighty good for soaking up excess, though delicious, fats and juices though a more elegant version is required here. Serve them around at cocktail parties or lay out the component parts, adding a little bowl of creme fraiche, sour cream or smetana, on the table for an appetizer.

SALMON POTATO PATTIES



Salmon Potato Patties image

My mom was never much of a cook(bless her soul). She learned on her own. This was one of her "mistakes" that turned out just great! I've changed it ever so slightly. Time to prepare includes chilling time.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 8 patties

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 3/4 ounces canned red salmon
1 1/2 cups cold mashed potatoes (no gravy,pls)

1/4 cup matzo meal (can use cracker meal)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 yellow onion, finely grated (optional)

Steps:

  • Drain and remove skin from salmon, leave bones.
  • Mix everything but the oils and 1 tbsp butter together. Let rest in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  • Keep them about the size of your palm -- they will be fat -- press down but don't mash flat.
  • Spray large frying pan with Pam. Heat over medium-high. Add 1/2 tbls butter and one tbsp oil to coat pan nicely. Swirl butter around.
  • Fry four patties at a time til golden brown on both sides.
