Steps:
- Boil the potatoes until tender, drain and mash with the butter. Allow to cool enough to handle.
- Remove the skin and bones from the mackerel and break the flesh into large chunks. Combine with the potato, lemon juice, zest, dill, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- With wet hands form the mixture into eight cakes. Lightly dust with flour, place on a plate or tray and cover with clingfilm before refrigerating for 30 minutes to firm up (this makes the cakes easier to handle).
- Meanwhile gently combine sour cream with the rest of the ingredients. Set aside and keep in the fridge.
- Heat half the butter and oil and fry the cakes over a medium heat, four at a time, on both sides for 6 minutes on the first side, then about four on the other. Don't turn the cakes over until they have a nice crust. Keep warm.
- Serve with the horseradish and apple sauce and lemon wedges.
