Method
1.Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cook potatoes 18-20 minutes, or until very tender. Mash well. Set aside to cool slightly.
2.Meanwhile, place 6 eggs in large saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to the boil on high, stirring once. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 5-6 minutes. Cool under cold water. Crack shells in several places; peel. Set aside.
3.In a large bowl, combine salmon, potato, onion, parsley, capers, gherkin, lemon juice and zest. Season to taste; mix well. Divide into 6 even portions. Mould each portion around one peeled egg.
4.Beat remaining eggs in a shallow dish. Toss coated eggs in flour, followed by egg, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat. Place on a tray; chill 15 minutes.
5.Heat oil in large frying pan on high. Cook eggs 6-8 minutes, turning until golden. Drain on paper towel. Serve hot or cold, with mayonnaise.
Panko is a Japanese variety of breadcrumbs. Its flake-like composition achieves a crispness that’s airier, less dense and lasts longer than conventional crumbs.
