My kids do not like anything fishy. I snuck this one by them and they loved it. I serve them as snacks, sandwiches, or as dinner with rice and a veggie on the side. Personally I like to dip them in horseradish and snack away!! Hope you like them.

SALMON POTATO PATTIES

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.

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)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp., divided
1/4 cup matzo meal (can use cracker meal)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 yellow onion, finely grated (optional)
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (I use salt substitute)
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (fresh is important)
2 tablespoons light vegetable oil

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.
  • Make all the patties and place them on a plate. If they feel a bit too soft to you from the handling, place back in refrigerator for awhile. Don't make more than recipe calls for or they will be dry on the inside.
  • 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.
  • Add rest of butter and 1 tbsp oil. Repeat.
  • These are good either hot or cold.

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!

Number Of Ingredients 9

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)

Steps:

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

Tips:

  • Use leftover mashed potatoes that are still warm and fluffy. This will make it easier to mix and form the patties.
  • If your mashed potatoes are too dry, add a little milk or cream to moisten them.
  • If you don't have any leftover mashed potatoes, you can make a batch of mashed potatoes just for this recipe.
  • Be sure to season the mashed potatoes well before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will give the patties more flavor.
  • Don't overmix the patties. Overmixing will make them tough.
  • Form the patties into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
  • Pan-fry the patties in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will prevent them from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the patties until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the patties with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Salmon patties made with leftover mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy way to use up leftovers. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
