These initially started as an experiment with leftovers. My girls' loved them so much that they've become a freezer staple.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillet (or any other fish you like), cooked and flaked
  • 1 big potato, boiled
  • Quarter tsp of mustard powder
  • 1 egg
  • Large handful of grated cheese
  • Any veg you like (Frozen mixed veg (carrots, broccoli and cauliflower), spinach, peas etc.,) cooked
  • Handful of breadcrumbs or Matzo meal

Method

Mash the potatoes and veg together. Mix in all other ingredients until combined. If the mixture is a little wet, add more breadcrumbs until its mouldable. Mould into golfball sized balls.

In a frying pan, melt some butter. Add the balls and flatten them into cakes. Cook one side until browned, then flip and cook on the other side.

The proportions given above make around a dozen cakes. My girls will usually eat 2 or 3 each so the rest can be frozen to use at a later date.
