I made these tonight for dinner. They were really fast and simple as the title says. DH wasn't home and I wasn't sure when he would get home, so I did everything except fry the patties before hand. Then when he arrived, I went ahead and fried the patties. The next time I make these I will leave the water out as that made them to loose to form into patties. I had to spoon them into the skillet and then kind of pat and spread them out. They tasted great and the fish and potatoes did not over-power each other. Thank you for sharing this recipe Chuck!!! -
I made these for my family a couple of weeks ago and I must say, we thoroughly enjoyed them. I took the other reviewers advice and left out the water. Had no problem forming the cakes. Fried to a delicate crisp. They had a wonderful soft texture on the inside. I used cod fillets. Thanks Chuck for sharing your recipe :D -
I left out the water which make it easier to form the cakes. Great camping recipe. -
I liked this, Chuck. Quick and simple. But the second time I left out the water, much better consistency, well for me anyway. I also added a big pinch of dill tops because I like it with fish.

Made these, after reading the reviews. I usually follow the recipe exactly the first time I make something. This time however I decided to tweak this one a bit. I added 1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper, 1 1/2 tsp of Lemon Pepper seasoning plus a good handful of finely chopped parsley.I did NOT add the Tbs of water as many reviewers suggested. I let the mixture cool before molding it into patties. Then I placed them in the freezer. Once frozen I floured, egged and breaded them. I left four out for dinner and returned the other eight to the freezer for dinner another night. I fried them in very shallow vegetable oil, they were so good can't wait to have them again! -

I had some left over mashed potato and left over cooked whiting fillets. I used this basic idea and then to stretch the quantity added some grated carrot and colby cheese as well as some garlic for flavour! I added shallots instead of onion as the fish was already cooked and I wanted it make sure the onion would be cooked quickly. I made the patties smaller by dropping a good spoonful of mixture into my hot cast iron fry pan and turning once when very browned. They were absolutely delicious with a fresh salad for lunch!! Would definately do again!!

I’m over the hill and heading down the back side at a rapid rate it seems, single, and retired now.
My loves? Good friends, most of all. After that I guess it would be wildlife and photographing it. In fact, I love anything that deals with wild animals and the outdoors. Then comes playing with my dog and making a mess trying to cook in the kitchen or around the fire pit, grill or smoker while enjoying a good tumbler of whiskey (whisky).
