Ingredients

  • 1 pound (500g) white fish fillets, skinless and boneless
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (130g) breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup (25g) grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (40g) chopped green onion
  • ¼ cup (8g) minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, cook the shredded potatoes and fish with the butter for 10 minutes. Take care not to break the fish up too much.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir carefully so the fish doesn't fall apart too much. Form into 8 patties.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Gently lay patties in skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Gently flip and brown on other side until golden.
