Tuna fishcakes

*Potato, raw, 3 small
* Tuna, Canned in Water, 2 can
* Bread crumbs, dry, grated, plain, .5 cup
* Egg, fresh, 1 large
* President's Choice Prepared Dijon Mustard, 1.5 tsp
* Onions, raw, 1 small
* Dried Basil, 1 tsp
* Dried Oregano, .5 tsp
* Dried Parsley, .5 tsp
* Lemon Juice, 3 wedge yields
* Salt to taste
* Pepper to taste
* Olive Oil, 3 tbsp

* Boil potatoes till cooked through (about 20 mins)
* While potatoes are boiling, chop onion and set aside
* After potatoes are cooked, remove peel and mash in a deep mixing bowl
* Drain water from tuna and add, mixing thoroughly
* Add chopped onion, egg, bread crumbs, mustard, basil, oregano, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly
* Divide the mixture into 15 sections and with each, make a round patty
* Divide the olive oil based on the size of pan you are using to cook the patties. I was able to use 1.5 tbsp for two cooking batches - 8 in one, 7 in the other.
* Heat oil in the pan, and place in patties - now cook one side for 15 seconds and then turn over for 15 seconds.
* Then cook each side on medium heat for 3-5 minutes

(The reason for cooking each side for 15 seconds is that the patties absorb oil, so we want to make sure we get a little bit on both sides ...otherwise a) they'll get too dry on one side and/or b) we may end up using more oil.)

Hope you like them! Makes 15 servings
