Directions

30 min.
1. Step

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

2. Step

In a medium bowl, add the fish fillets and using a fork, shred into small flakes.

3. Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded fish, boiled potatoes, onion, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon zest, salt, and black. Mix well until evenly distributed.

4. Step

Shape the mixture into round patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Lightly dust each patty with flour, shaking off any excess.

5. Step

Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Dip each patty into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked fish cakes onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

6. Step

Serve the fish cakes hot with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice. They can be enjoyed as a standalone dish accompanied by a side of mixed greens or a fresh salad.
