Fish Cakes in a Flash

I love these fish cakes, they are quick and easy and oh so scrummy. They are also a little bit messy :)

1 pack smoked mackerel
3 medium/large potatoes (for mashing)
a knob of butter
a dash of milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp of mustard
flour
oil
1 egg

Make mash potato as usual. Break up the mackerel into pieces with a fork and discard the skin and any bones. Mix the mackerel into the mash when ready. Whisk the egg and put onto a plate. Put some flour onto another plate. Now comes the messy bit. Form the mixture into fish cake shapes with your hands. Cover each fish cake first in egg, then in flour and put them on a place ready for frying. Now wash your hand and heat some oil in a large frying pan. Try the fish cakes for a few minutes on each side until golden. Serve with something green like green beans, spinach or salad and of course, don't forget the ketchup!
