• 1 tbs oil

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the salmon, mashed potato, egg and salt.
2. Mix well to combine.
3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 patties.
4. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate and roll each patty in the breadcrumbs, pressing down gently to ensure they are full coated.
5. Rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour before heating a small amount of oil (1 tsp)in a frying pan over medium heat. In batches, fry each patty for approx 4 minutes each side until golden and heated through. You may need to add more oil between batches.

If you are feeding a family of 4, that leaves 2 hamburger rolls you can have for lunch the next day and 2 more patties remaining.
