Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, add the diced potatoes and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth and let them cool slightly.
- In the same mixing bowl, add the drained canned tuna, finely chopped onion, chopped parsley, and lemon juice.
- Sprinkle in the red pepper spice to add a bit of heat.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Add the egg white to the mixture. This will act as a binder to help hold the cakes together.
- Mix everything together until the egg white is fully incorporated.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties or cakes. You should be able to form about 6-8 cakes, depending on the size.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the tuna and potato cakes to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the cakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the tuna and potato seafood cakes hot with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or a dipping sauce like tartar sauce or aioli.
Tips:
- Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly mashed to avoid chunky bits in your seafood cakes.
- Drain the canned tuna well to prevent excess moisture, which can make the cakes fall apart.
- Finely chop the onion and parsley for a more uniform mixture and better texture.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, adjust the amount of red pepper to your liking.
- Use a non-stick pan and ensure it's adequately heated before adding your cakes to avoid sticking.
- Allow the seafood cakes to sear properly on the first side before flipping to ensure a beautiful golden crust.
