Potato Tuna Patties
Potato Tuna Patties can be served alongside a fresh salad and your favorite dipping sauce. They keep well refrigerated and can be used for the next day's meal, either warm or cold. Tuna in combination with mashed potato, corn, lemon and green onion seems to be a winner for our family.

5. Divide mixture into 12 portions. Shape them into patties. Place breadcrumbs on a plate and add the patties to coat.
6. Heat oil over medium high heat in a nonstick pan. Cook patties for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil. Clean the pan with a paper towel and repeat until all patties are done.
