Excellent! The potatoes make the patties creamy. Because of the reviews I only put in one potato so I could still taste the salmon. I also added a chopped onion for flavor. Make sure you chop it really fine so it doesn't interrupt the creamy texture. Also you don't need that much oil. I just put in enough to coat the pan.
Overall very tasty! But 5 large potatoes is too much. We could barely taste the salmon b/c the potatoe over-powered the overall taste. I would use only 3.
This was actually quite good. But I did tweak it a little. Gotta have onions in a salmon cake! I added a small finely chopped onion and some parsley and coated the cakes in cornmeal instead of flour to give it some texture. Yum. Not bland but a slightly 'muted' salmon flavor. Great w/homemade tarter sauce. I confess I had seconds!
I found this recipe to be very good. I live in an area where pacific salmon is very prevelant and I needed a recipe that would use up the leftovers from my catch of salmon. This was great. My family and I are not the greatest salmon fanciers and enjoyed how this recipe did not have an overpowering taste of salmon. If you like but dont love salmon this is a good recipe mind you when frying the patties they absorb a tremedous amount of oil. Make sure you pan is hot.
I tried a variation of this recipe using only one large potato and some matzo meal. Even with that variation the cakes had too much potato flavor. I find it hard to believe that you're supposed to mix five potatoes to one average-sized can of salmon. Why even bother to add the salmon at all in this recipe? It's simply a waste --- you CAN'T TASTE THE SALMON!!!
These were very tasty. i made a few changes. i drained all the water from the potatoes and left none. i added about a tsp. of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix to the flour before coating the cakes. Then i fried them in extra-virgin olive oil. We really enjoyed them!
The fish cakes did taste nice but the preparation was a bit of a nightmare. Frying them took ages and also caused some of them to burn it may take practice but its not the easiest recipe in the world.
The patties tasted good but they would have been even better with less potatoes. It tasted like a potato pattie instead of fish pattie.
This recipee was very good. I don't like a strong salmon flavor in patties and the potatoes really helped remedy this. I added a little Italian bread crumbs for more flavor and that tasted exellent. I made fairly large patties and I ended up with 14 patties just from one can of salmon. This is definitely a recipee I will make again.
