Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and dice the Russet potatoes into small chunks. Add them to a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Add the mashed potatoes, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. You should get approximately 8 cakes.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the tuna cakes in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
To make the honey mustard dipping sauce, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Serve the tuna cakes warm alongside the honey mustard dipping sauce. Enjoy!
