Stay Awake

1 Flake the fish into a bowl. Add the mashed potato, onion, parsley, salt and pepper and combine. Turn the fish mixture onto a board and divide into even-shaped cakes (8-10).

2 Beat egg and water together, then dip the fish cake into the egg mixture and roll in breadcrumbs.

3 Spray oil in a frying pan and heat. Add the fish cakes and cook until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve with salad.

Variations

Play around with different herbs, too – chopped dill or chives work well in place of the parsley.
