Tuna Patties

Ingredients:

900g Potatoes

425g Tuna (in oil)

400g Frozen mixed vegetables

Salt & Pepper (to taste)

1/2 tsp Garlic powder

1/2 tsp Onion powder

1/2 tsp Paprika

Cornflour to coat (about 3/4 cup)

Oil (for shallow frying)

Method:

• Peel, chop and boil potatoes until tender.  
• Drain, mash and set aside.
• Cook frozen vegetables until just tender.  
• Drain and then run under cold water until cool.
• Open the tuna and pour the oil into the mashed potatoes. Stir it in  thoroughly! (Alternatively, you can omit the oil and add butter or  nuttelex as you would a normal mashed potato)
• Add cooled vegetables, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and flaked tuna.
• Gently  mix it all together.
• Taste it to see if it needs more salt and pepper.
• Roll into balls (I use an ice cream scoop)
• Gently roll in cornflour and set aside
• Heat the oil in a fry pan (or electric fry pan)
• Cook the patties gently until they are golden brown, turning gently.
• Drain on paper towel and serve while hot!

Makes about 20 patties.
