Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks.
- Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Fish:
- Steam or poach the white fish until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Allow it to cool slightly, then flake the fish into small pieces. Remove any bones and skin if necessary.
3. Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the flaked fish and mashed potatoes.
- Add the egg, finely chopped scallions, dill, and chives.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the flour to the mixture and stir until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to shape into patties. If it's too wet, you can add a bit more flour.
4. Shape the Rissoles:
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties or rissoles, about the size of your palm. Aim for uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
5. Cook the Rissoles:
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Cook the rissoles in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Flip carefully with a spatula to avoid breaking them.
6. Serve:
- Serve the lemon and herb fish rissoles hot, either plain or with a side of tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a fresh green salad.

Tips:

- Ensure that the white fish is fresh or properly thawed if previously frozen, to enhance the flavor and texture of your rissoles.

- Finely chop the scallions, dill, and chives to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the rissoles.

- When forming the rissoles, wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.

- Preheat the pan well before adding the rissoles to get a nice, crisp exterior.

- Don’t overcrowd the pan while cooking the rissoles; this ensures even cooking and a better texture.

Following these simple steps and tips, you’ll be able to create delicious Lemon and Herb Fish Rissoles that are sure to impress. This recipe not only adds a delightful variety to your meal options but also contributes to a healthy and balanced diet. Enjoy the fresh flavors and the satisfying crunch of these delectable rissoles at your next meal!
