- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes until soft. Drain well, return to the pan and mash until smooth. Leave to cool.
- Stir together the mashed potato, drained tuna, spring onion and half the beaten egg. Lightly oil or wet your hands and roll the mixture into 12 balls, each about the size of a large golf ball, and then flatten slightly.
- Place the remaining beaten egg on a plate and the breadcrumbs on another plate. Dip each fishcake into the egg until well coated. Then cover in the breadcrumbs. Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan and cook the fishcakes for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa verde by stirring together all of the ingredients. Serve the fishcakes with a crisp green salad and the salsa verde alongside.
