SHREDDED POTATO SALMON CAKES
Delicious salmon cakes made with potatoes and the added color of red bell pepper and green onion. I enjoy a simple garlic mayonnaise to accompany the cakes but you can pretty much use whatever you desire. These turned out great and definitely became an all-time favorite.
