Author Notes
I am personally against mashed potato in fishcakes, but over here in the UK it is pretty commonplace. A few spare potatoes and a meagre quantity of fish saw me bending my own rules, but the flavors were lovely and our bellies were full. Success.
These would be just as good as vegetarian potato cakes, just leave out the fish.
