Storage: These potato patties can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tip 1: Use the right type of potatoes - White potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes have more starch in their composition and are the best for this recipe.
Tip 2: Choose a quality Canned tuna - Having the best ingredients will help the recipe become tastier. In this case, a good quality canned tuna will add more flavour to the dish.
Tip 3: Sprinkle vegetable oil on the pan - When frying the patties, use a small amount of vegetable oil in the pan. A non-stick frying pan will help the patties cook beautifully, so you won't need a large amount of oil for this.
