Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F).
Lay the fish fillets in a baking dish. Cover it with foil and bake for 10-12 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and opaque. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool.
Flake the fish fillets into a large mixing bowl, ensuring all bones are removed.
Add the cooled mashed potatoes, spring onions, parsley, beaten egg, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with flaked fish. Mix gently until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1 cm thick.
Place breadcrumbs on a shallow plate. Carefully coat each fishcake by pressing it into the breadcrumbs, ensuring each patty is fully covered.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Fry the fishcakes in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.
Serve the fishcakes hot with a squeeze of lemon and a fresh side salad or steamed greens.
