A delightful twist on classic tuna cakes, these patties are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, then mash them in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the potatoes are completely mashed for a smooth texture in the patties.
Add the tuna, egg, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and parsley to the mashed potatoes and mix until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the tuna into very small pieces, which helps maintain texture.
Shape the mixture into patties and coat each one with breadcrumbs.
Chill the patties in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before cooking to help them firm up.
Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
For extra crispiness, lightly spray the patties with cooking oil before baking.
Serve the patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce and a side salad.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the patties enhances their flavor.
