• Meanwhile, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add russet potato and boil until tender but not falling apart.
• Drain and mash potato in a bowl. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Add parsley, chives, and lemon zest; add 1 tablespoon tartar sauce mixture. Mix until combined. Flake chilled fish over the top. Mix until combined.
• Scoop out ¼ of the mixture and form into a patty. Repeat with remaining mixture.
