Tuna Patties
 
Dinner last night was tuna patties. I drained a can of tuna, mixed
it with about a third of a cup of leftover mashed potatoes, one
crumbled slice of bread, one egg, a spoon of mayonnaise, and seasoning
salt. Then, I browned both sides in olive oil.

Tuna is a great substitute for salmon when making patties.

Is the standard way to make fish patties by mixing with mashed potato?

Looks quick, easy and delicious Tara. I need a few recipes like that
in my repertoire!

Potato or bread crumbs are a traditional binder, yes. I'd think the
potato would hold the cakes together best.

I added the leftover mashed potatoes since I had them on hand. I
don't know if I would bother cooking and mashing a potato otherwise;
it depends on what time, energy, and other ingredients I possess at
the time.

My mother used matzo meal. I've used flavored breadcrumbs. Neer thought
of mashed potatoes.

It sounded good enough to me that I'd go to the trouble of mashing
some potatoes!

I will assume (especially at this time of year) that the dill was
dried. ;)

Sounds like you use any old fish, is that right? I like your mashed
potato inside and bread crumb outside approach. It seems like mashed
potatoes would make a moist patty. What are your proportions? 50:50?

Yes, the dill was dried. We topped the tuna patties with some hot
sauce. A squeeze of lemon sounds good, too.

:) Gotta ask... hot sauce as in Tabasco or did you mean a hot creamy
sauce? My first thought was "béchamel"... then I thought, no maybe
she meant she shook it from a bottle.

Me too, in addition I add a finely chopped onion and an egg for
binding. I always chill them in the fridge before cooking so that they
firm up.

I like them cold better than hot.

I've never heard nor eaten them prepared with mashed potatoes and it
doesn't sound appealing. I fix the patties using tuna just like I do
canned salmon. Cornmeal as the binder along with an egg and several
generous shakes of lemon pepper.

I like crab cakes made with potatoes but then they are made for use in
the crab cakes and do not have any milk or butter added to them.

I make the occasional tuna melt on rye but prefer use yoghurt cheese in
the tuna salad rather than mayo.

When I was a kid and that's about 60 years ago, my mother made can
salmon pie
and always put mashed potatoes and an egg, and findly chopped onions
with some kind of spices.
This was a two crust pie. I always like putting ketchup on it. That
was soooo good.

Tubas are now available made from fiberglass. It even has "fiber" in
its name.

I have a really great old recipe from Gourmet called "Tuna Cakes Maryland

Mom used to make a tuna and potato casserole, which she served
with mock Hollandaise sauce. I bet that sauce would be good for
patties too.
