Here’s a recipe made for making and freezing, then thawing and enjoying on another night – less work and more ‘me’ time!
Ingredients
- 1kg red rascal potatoes, peeled, roughly chopped
- 2 x 185g cans tuna in oil, drained, flaked
- 2 cups frozen peas, corn and carrot, thawed
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons rice bran oil
- Salad leaves, to serve
- Lemon wedges, to serve
- Tartare sauce, to serve
Method
- Step 1Place potato in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to the boil. Boil for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Mash in a bowl. Set aside to cool completely.
- Step 2Add tuna, vegetable mixture, onion, parsley and egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Using 1/3 cup mixture at a time, shape into 16 patties. Place breadcrumbs on a plate. Coat patties in breadcrumbs (freeze 8 patties – see note).
- Step 3Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook 8 patties, in batches, for 3 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Serve with salad leaves, lemon wedges and tartare sauce.

Notes
Makes 8 to serve now plus 8 to freeze.
To freeze: Wrap 8 patties individually in plastic wrap at end of step 2. Place in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To thaw: Thaw in fridge overnight. To cook: Follow step 3, using 2 tablespoons rice bran oil.
Super saver: Use 2 x 185g cans tuna in springwater instead of oil and save around $1.72 in total.
