• 1 onion, finely chopped

Introduction:

Start by preparing your main ingredients: the fish should be cooked and flaked, and potatoes boiled and mashed. This will form the base of your fish cakes.

Body:

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flaked fish, mashed potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, beaten egg, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
2. Shape the Cakes: With your hands, form the mixture into small patties. If the mixture is too sticky, you can oil your hands a little to make this process easier.
3. Coat in Breadcrumbs: Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Press each fish cake into the breadcrumbs, turning to coat both sides evenly.
4. Fry the Fish Cakes: Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fish cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain: Remove the fish cakes from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Conclusion:

Serve your crispy fish cakes hot, accompanied by a side of tartar sauce or a fresh lemon wedge to squeeze over. They’re perfect for a light dinner or as part of a larger meal.

Enjoy your homemade crispy fish cakes!
