These salmon potato cakes are a delightful twist on traditional patties, combining the richness of salmon with the comforting texture of potatoes.
Combine the salmon, mashed potatoes, egg, onion, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well blended.
Ensure the mixture is well combined to help the patties hold their shape during cooking.
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping the patties.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to create a crispy exterior on the patties.
Cook the patties in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of side or dipping sauce.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
