Ingredients

2 large (660g) red-skinned potatoes

210 gram can red salmon, drained, bones removed, flaked

1/4 cup chopped mint, plus 1/3 cup small leaves, extra

3 teaspoon bought korma curry paste

1 egg, lightly whisked

2 tablespoon plain flour

Method

1.Place whole, unpeeled potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to the boil. Boil for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain. Peel when cool enough to handle. Place in a medium heatproof bowl; mash. Add salmon, mint, curry paste, egg and flour; stir well to combine. Season. Shape mixture into 6 equal-sized patties. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Chill for 30 minutes.

2.Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan over moderately low heat. Cook patties, in batches, for 12-15 minutes or until browned and heated. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Serve warm with yoghurt, salad, extra mint and lemon wedges.

Use canned pink salmon instead of red. To make this a main meal for 4, shape mixture into 8 patties and serve with steamed vegetables. To shallow-fry, pour oil into frying pan to 4cm deep.
