In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flaked smoked haddock, sautéed onion, chopped parsley, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 2
Add the beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of plain flour to the mixture. Mix gently until just combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it seems too wet, add a little more flour.
- 3
Shape the mixture into round, flat cakes, about 1.5-2 cm thick. You can lightly dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking.

Heat a tablespoon of butter or oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the fish cakes in the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Fry for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.

Remove the fish cakes from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓Ensure the potatoes are well-mashed and relatively dry for the best texture.
- ✓Don't overmix the ingredients, as this can make the cakes tough.
- ✓If you don't have smoked haddock, other firm white fish like cod or pollack can be used, though the flavor will be different.
- ✓For a crispier exterior, ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the cakes.
