Fish Cakes

1 cup cooked fish
2 cups mashed potatoes (can use instant – follow directions on package)
1 egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley – optional
¼ cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons oil

1. Mash fish and potatoes together with the egg in a large bowl
2. With your hands, shape the fish mixture into cakes about 2 ½ inches in diameter and ½ inch thick
3. Spread flour on plate or piece of wax paper
4. Dip both sides of cakes in flour
5. Heath the oil in a frying pan and fish fry the cakes on both sides until golden brown : about 2-3 minutes on each side

Serves 2

I found this recipe in a cookbook for my Step-Sister's Christmas Recipe Book that I'm making.
We have all the ingredients here at the house, so I am going to make it for dinner tonight for when my fiance gets home from work. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

This looks like such a wonderful, tasty recipe! I was just wishing the other day that I had a new recipe for fish. I have had fish cakes before and potato cakes before, but never combined--sounds great!

I didnt exactly follow the recipe, so they turned out more like the mashed potatoes.

I used instant Garlic & Herb Potatoes from Aldi's.

The dinner turned out good.
I would cook it again. It was really easy, and had alot of flavor.
