Ingredients
Potatoes
500 g (Peeled and cut into chunks)
Flour
50 g (Sifted)
Salmon fillet
1 (Skinned and flaked)
Egg
1 (Whisked)
Sweet red pepper
1 (Very finely diced)
Feta cheese
100 g (Crumble)
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons (For serving)
Chives
1/4 cup (Snipped)
Vegetable oil
4 tablespoons (For frying)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
To taste (For seasoning)
Instructions
1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly before mashing until smooth without adding any butter or milk.
2
In a frying pan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced red pepper and skinless salmon fillet. Gently break the salmon into flakes with a fork as it cooks. Sauté for about five minutes, stirring occasionally until the salmon is fully cooked and the peppers are soft.
3
Once the mashed potatoes have cooled, season them generously with freshly ground black pepper. Sift the flour over the mashed potatoes and mix well using a wooden spoon until the flour is fully incorporated.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and then add it to the potato mixture, stirring thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
5
Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl and snip the chives with kitchen scissors directly into the mix. Add the cooked red pepper and salmon, gently folding everything together to maintain the integrity of the salmon flakes.
6
Dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking and shape the mixture into patties: you can make twelve smaller patties or six larger cakes, depending on your preference.
7
In the same frying pan, add the remaining oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully add the formed potato cakes to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Fry for about three minutes on one side, until a crisp golden crust forms, then gently flip to cook the other side until similarly crisp and golden.
8
As you cook the cakes, keep them warm in an oven set to low heat. Serve the cakes hot, garnished with a dusting of grated parmesan and extra chives for a pop of color.
