Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes (about 300 g), boiled and mashed
- 1 can tuna in oil or water (about 150 g), drained
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or dill
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon paprika or chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for shaping)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Boil potatoes until tender, drain, and mash until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes and drained tuna, breaking up large chunks.
- Add onion, garlic, parsley or dill, salt, pepper, and optional paprika/chili flakes. Mix well.
- Stir in egg and breadcrumbs to bind the mixture. Add more breadcrumbs if needed.
- Shape mixture into round or oval patties. Lightly dust with flour or roll in breadcrumbs for crispiness.
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry patties 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve warm with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Chill shaped patties for 10 minutes before frying for better shape retention.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour for a gluten-free version.
- Try sweet potatoes for a different flavor twist.
- Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
- Freeze uncooked patties for up to 2 months; thaw before cooking.
