Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the cod fillets in a large frying pan with 1 cup of water. Cover and poach over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly.
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, Dijon mustard, and finely chopped parsley. Add this mixture to the mashed potatoes.
Flake the cooked fish into the mashed potatoes, ensuring to remove any bones. Mix gently to combine.
Finely chop the spring onions and add to the fish and potato mixture along with salt and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 8 even-sized patties.
Whisk the egg in a shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs on a separate plate.
Dip each fishcake into the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add remaining olive oil. Fry the fishcakes in batches for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve the fishcakes warm with a wedge of lemon and a salad or steamed vegetables.
