Ingredients
- 2 golden Delight potatoes, peeled, coarsely chopped
- 60ml (1/4 cup) milk
- 250g frozen spinach, thawed, excess liquid removed
- 185g can tuna in springwater, drained, flaked
- 25g (1/4 cup) coarsely grated cheddar
- 1 shallot, trimmed, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
- 3 eggs
- Plain flour, to dust
- 180g (2 cups) dried multigrain breadcrumbs
- Light olive oil spray
- Masterfoods Tomato Sauce, to serve
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Cook the potato in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 12 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the milk. Use a potato masher to mash until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
- Step 2Add the spinach, tuna, cheddar, shallot, lemon rind and 1 egg to the potato. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Step 3Whisk the remaining milk and eggs in a bowl. Place the flour and breadcrumbs on separate plates. Shape 2 tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into a pattie. Repeat with remaining potato mixture to make 16 patties. Dip 1 pattie in the flour to coat. Shake off excess flour. Dip in egg mixture then in breadcrumbs to coat. Place the pattie onto the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining patties, flour, egg mixture and breadcrumbs.
- Step 4Spray patties with oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve the patties with tomato sauce.

Pop the patties into your lunch box – they’re just as good cold as they are hot.
