What do you do with leftover mashed potatoes because if your
house is anything like ours there are either not enough mashed potatoes or too
many!
About two months ago at our regular Sunday dinner with Great Grandma there were
leftovers and with a sigh we said to no one in particular what are we going to
do with all these potatoes? Great Grandma look up at us and said salmon
patties of course.
I do not remember salmon patties being part of my childhood and they
were apart of Great Grandma’s childhood. Great Great Grandma a woman of her time never wasted anything and left over mashed potatoes became salmon patties the next day. Great Grandma talked about how the horse-drawn fish carter would come by once a week and her mother would pick out her salmon.
Using Great Grandma’s memory as guide we worked with the
recipe and came up with a new family favourite.
We like them so mush that we have been know to make mashed potatoes just for
this recipe.
We freeze them and take them for lunch they can be eaten with a knife and fork or by hand when the situation calls for it.

- 2 cups fine bread crumbs (we used gluten free)
- 2 eggs
