How to Make Salmon Potato Cakes
- Saute 1/2 cup finely chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of butter until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
- In a large bowl, combine the sauteed onions, 2 cups of mashed potatoes (made from about 2 pounds of potatoes), 1 1/2 cups cooked and flaked salmon, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon mace, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon fresh dill.
- Gently mix all ingredients until thoroughly combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the mixture into 4 (4-inch) patties. Dip each patty in 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce (optional).
