Ingredients
500g new potatoes
skin on
185g tuna
in a tin, drained
1 egg
½ cup carrot
grated
½ cup zucchini
grated (corn also good)
½ cup tasty cheese
½ cup wholemeal flour
3 tbsp canola oil
Equipment
- 1 saucepan
- 1 potato masher
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 large frying pan
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into quarters, put in a saucepan with cold salted water and bring to the boil. Once soft, drain water and mash potatoes with the skin on.
- In a large mixing bowl add remaining ingredients except the oil.
- Add potato mash to tuna mixture, season with salt and pepper then fold ingredients together until well combined.
- Shape patties using your hands – I use a cup measurement for each patty.
- Heat a large frying pan; add oil and once heated, place the patties in the oil and fry until golden brown.
- Cook the patties in several batches for best results.
Notes
Tip
I like to leave the skin on new potatoes because it is so thin and holds all the nutrients- and my kids never notice.
Variation
For variety, mix up your veggies. If your child loves sweet potato, make a potato/ sweet potato mash for something different.
