300g potato , cubed
2 spring onions , finely chopped
2 tbsp choppped parsley
1 pack kipper fillets (about 200g), skin and bones removed, chopped into small pieces
1 egg , beaten
85g breadcrumb
3 tbsp mayonnaise
85g bag watercress

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes for 10-12 mins until tender. Drain thoroughly, then roughly mash.
  • Mix the potato, spring onions, parsley and fish. Season with a little black pepper, then shape into 4 fish cakes. Dip each in the egg and then breadcrumbs to cover. Chill for at least 10 mins.
  • Whizz the mayo with a small handful of watercress. Season and stir through the capers. Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan. Fry the fish cakes for 1 min on a high heat until crisp and brown, then cook for about 4 mins on a lower heat. Repeat on the other side, ensuring the fish is cooked all the way through.
