Preparation
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and dice them into even chunks.
- In a medium-sized pot, bring 600 ml of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
- Add the diced potatoes and cook on medium-high heat for about 15 minutes or until they are tender.
- Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
- Make the Mashed Potato Mixture: Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth.
- Open the can of tuna, drain the water, and add the tuna to the mashed potatoes.
- Add chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well.
- Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until everything is well combined.
- Shape and Bread the Patties: Take a small amount of the potato mixture and shape it into small flattened balls.
- Prepare three bowls for the breading process: one with 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.
- Coat each patty first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs.
- Fry the Patties: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan and fry for about 3 minutes on one side until golden brown.
- Flip the patties over and fry for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the patties hot for the best flavor. They are crispy on the outside and wonderfully moist and flavorful on the inside.
