How to Make Ida's Fishcakes

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked and flaked cod, mashed potatoes, onion, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (about 1/2 inch thick).
  3. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the fish cakes in the skillet.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Reduce heat if browning too quickly.
  5. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and a squeeze of lemon for a complete meal. Enjoy cold the next day as a tasty sandwich filling!
