Instructions

  1. Finely chop the fish with a knife or pulse it briefly in a blender to keep some texture.
  2. Finely dice and fry the onion in a pan for 5 minutes, until translucent. Let it cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the fish, onion, egg, mashed potato, parsley, salt and pepper.
  4. Gradually add the flour to get a soft dough that holds together without sticking.
  5. Shape into patties about 1 cm thick with wet hands.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until nicely golden.
  7. Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot.

Variations and tips

Oven version. Arrange the patties on an oiled tray and bake for 20 minutes at 200 °C, turning them halfway through.
