TUNA & SWEETCORN FISH CAKES | WEIGHT WATCHERS

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them up into equal sized chunks.
• Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water making sure there is at least one inch of water covering them.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Heat over a high heat until the water starts to boil.
• Boil the potatoes for 10 - 12 minutes or until a knife inserted into the thickest part of the potato goes in easily.
• Whilst the potatoes are boiling place the drained tuna and sweetcorn into a medium sized bowl.
• Add the mayonnaise, the chili flakes and any herbs that you are using and give them a good mix to combine.
• Once the potatoes are done remove them from the heat and drain off the water.
• Mash the potatoes until smooth and add to the tuna mixture.
• Mix until all of the ingredients are combined.
• Have a taste and if you feel it needs seasoning, add a little salt and pepper.
• Next, take a quarter of the tuna / potato mixture and use your hands to shape it into a patty.
• Repeat with the rest of the mixture so that you end up with 4 patties in total.
• Lightly cover the patties in cling film (saran wrap) and place in the fridge for an hour or so to chill.
• Once the patties have chilled remove them from the fridge.
• Place the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl or plate.
• Whisk the egg and place it in another shallow bowl or plate.
• Dip each patty in the egg (both sides) and then into the panko breadcrumbs so that all sides of the patty is lightly covered in breadcrumbs.
• Repeat with the rest of the patties.
• You could use tongs to do this but I prefer to use my hands - a little messier but easier to control!
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over a medium heat.
• Add the patties and cook on both sides for approx 3 minutes or until the breadcrumbs have turned a golden brown colour.
• Remove from the heat and serve with a side salad or vegetables of your choice.
