Fish Cakes

Step 1
Ii you need to make mash, boil the potatoes until tender, then drain. While the potatoes are still warm, mash them with the milk and a pinch of salt.

Put the mash into a big bowl. Add the thinly sliced crunchy vegetables, along with the herbs, minced garlic and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and combine well with a fork, then stir through the flaked fish, being careful not to mix too much, which can make the mixture gluey.

Fry the fish cakes in batches for 3-4 minutes each side until crisp and golden.
