Tuna Potato Patties

Ever since the kids came along, most of my cooking has been of the quick and easy kind, but once in a while, I like to experiment with new things that could be more time consuming to prepare as well as to wash up.  Here's one such experiment -- tuna potato patties!

Ingredients:

1 can of tuna (I chose tuna in water)

red onions, chopped

red pepper, chopped

potatoes (I chose Russet)

salt

pepper

corn flour

1 egg

oil

1. Boil potatoes in water until cooked through.  Peel and mash.
2. Place tuna, red onions, red pepper, mashed potatoes, egg, some corn flour, salt and pepper into a bowl and mix well.  Mixture should be able to hold it's shape and not be too wet.

3. Heat up some oil in a frying pan.  Shape patties using the mixture, coat the exterior with corn flour and place them in the frying pan.  Let one side brown slightly before turning over and browning the other side.
