Spicy Tuna Cakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Tuna Cakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by placing your cubed potatoes in a small pot and covering them with salted water.

2. Step 2

   Bring the water to a lively boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low.

3. Step 3

   Cover the pot and let the potatoes simmer until they’re tender, which should take about 20 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once they’re cooked, drain the potatoes and let them sit in the pot for a minute or two to steam dry—this helps achieve the perfect texture.

5. Step 5

   Next, transfer the drained potatoes to a large bowl and mash them until they’re smooth and creamy, using either a potato masher or a fork.

6. Step 6

   Now it’s time to add some flavor! Mix in the drained tuna, chopped onion, egg, Dijon mustard, dry bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

7. Step 7

   Stir everything together until it’s well combined and you can’t see any separate ingredients.

8. Step 8

   Once your mixture is ready, divide it into eight equal portions and shape each one into a delightful patty.

9. Step 9

   Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and when it’s nice and hot, gently add the tuna patties.
