Sweet Potato, Smoked Salmon and Chilli fishcakes

Ok so its another foody based post but with the weather at the weekend and early this week there has not been much boaty action taking place.In fact we didnt move the boat at all this weekend we stayed firmly rooted to our berth sheltering from the wind and the rain.

Anyway for this simple recipe simply peel and roughtly chop three medium sized sweet potatoes and boil in salted water for ten to fifteen minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Mash the potatoes and add a finely chopped chilli and a packet of smoked salmon trimmings. These are avaliable cheaply from most supermarkets these days but if you are lucky enough to have a local fishmongers all the better.

Finally form the mixture into balls and gently press flat. Fry in a little oil over a medium heat for five minutes on either side or until they have just started to brown and crisp. Try not to handle them too much as they have a tendancy to fall apart.

Here you can see ours served simply with wedges and a dressed rocket salad. I must apologise now for the fuzzy image but the camera on the phone was getting confused by the steam rising off the food and wouldnt/couldnt focus on the plate!!
