Plating

We have chosen to keep this meal as simple as possible so plating suggestions are simple and in line with our easy fishcake recipe.

  • Mashed Potato and Peas.
  • Baked Potato with cream cheese topping and a lovely mixed salad.
  • Potato salad with carrots and beans.

What I love to do with this delicious fish cakes is to make potatoe burgers as a means of serving them.  See below how to make these potato burgers and remember to always be adventurous and add the seasoning that you and your family enjoy.

What we find is that serving these fish cakes up as burgers is a huge attraction for the kids, who we know simply love burgers.   So these would be a burger with a twist for the little ones. And the big ones like us who, believe me, will also love it.

Ingredients for Potato Burgers

  • 1 lb. mashed potato
  • 1 Tbsp. plain flour
  • seasoning
  • butter or olive oil for frying

Method for Potato Burgers

  • Mix together the mashed potato, flour, salt and pepper.
  • Roll out on a floured surface to a good ¼ inch thickness and cut into rounds (2½ to 3 inch diameter) with a pastry cutter.
  • Fry in a little hot butter or oil until lightly browned on both sides, lift on a plate and keep warm.
  • Sandwich a fish cake between two potato cakes and service piping hot.
