Time 25m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium mealy potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons cream
4 tablespoons butter
1 pound haddock fillets
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Approximately 1 cup plain, dry bread crumbs
Bacon drippings and cooking oil

Steps:

  • Gently boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until they are tender. Drain and mash. Add the cream and butter and mix well. Set aside, but do not refrigerate.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, simmer fish fillets in water to cover until they are cooked through. Drain well, flake the fish and mix it with potatoes.
  • Add the chopped onions and lightly beaten egg to the fish-potato mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. This recipe may be made ahead of time up to this point and refrigerated, covered.
  • When ready to cook, form the fish mixture into cakes similar to small hamburgers, about two and one-half inches in diameter. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate or dry surface and pat the fish cakes in the crumbs to coat well.
  • Heat one tablespoon of bacon dripping (for flavor) and one tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Saute the fish cakes until they are brown on both sides. Serve immediately.
