Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil (about 2-3 tablespoons) over medium heat. You want enough oil to lightly fry the patties and give them a crispy exterior.
Fry the patties: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook the patties in batches if necessary.
Drain excess oil: Once the patties are golden and crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the patties: These tuna and potato patties are best served warm, but they are also delicious at room temperature. You can serve them with a side salad, some dipping sauces like mayonnaise, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Garnish: Optionally, garnish the patties with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of extra breadcrumbs for added crunch and flavor.
Cooking Tips
Breadcrumbs: If you don’t have pre-seasoned breadcrumbs with parsley and garlic, you can easily make your own by mixing plain breadcrumbs with dried parsley, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
