1 large russet potato, baked and chilled
Remove potato skin and slice potato.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine potato, salmon, onion and dill. Pulse until mixture is very coarse.
Turn into large mixing bowl and blend thoroughly with garlic, egg yolk, butter and generous amounts of salt and pepper.
Divide mixture into four portions and pat into four cakes about 2-1/2" in diameter and 3/4" high. Pour bread crumbs onto a plate, then coat fish cakes evenly on all sides.
Heat oil in a large cast iron or stamped steel skillet over high heat. Place fish cakes in skillet, cover and reduce heat to medium. Fry for 3 minutes or until golden on the bottom. Turn, cover, and fry until other side is golden brown, 3-4 minutes.
Serve on heated plates garnished with fresh dill.
Poster's Notes:
The next time, though, I would probably add a little fresh dill to it. I would make this in advance and serve warmed or at room temperature.
