Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Flake the cooked fish carefully and check for any bones.

  2. Mix with the cooked rice and mashed potato, then shape into small patties.

  3. Cook in a non-stick pan over low to medium-low heat for about 4 minutes per side, until the centre is steaming hot and the patties hold together. Let them cool before serving.

Serving by Age

Flake the fish and check each portion for bones. Mix with well-cooked rice and potato, shape tender patties, heat them through and check they break apart easily rather than forming dense, chewy pieces.
