we love potatoes

In fact, we have an entire cookbook devoted to potatoes. This is where we gleaned the recipe for Tuna Cakes. These are made with potatoes and tuna, breadcrumbs and some assorted spices.

It felt a little like making hamburgers though we bathed the patties in flour and egg, then coated them in bread crumbs. We chose the panko crumbs again and later on decided to incorporate some asiago cheese, shredded.

My favorite part of the dish was probably the tomato sauce that the recipe called for. We made our own sauce of tomatoes and basil, olive oil, pepper and a few other herbs. We fried the patties in grapeseed oil (a higher specific heat; ask the pros) and set them to dry in a mildly hot oven. The mix of tuna and potato and tomato was succulent.





We enjoyed this particular meal with a prefix of spring salad mix and honey mustard, and ate the whole shebang while watching Back To The Future 3. Great Scott!
