Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain well. Transfer to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or handheld mixer. Cool to room temperature.
- In a food processor, combine the fish, oat bran, egg, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the fish is finely ground.
- Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the potatoes. Add the scallion greens and mix well to combine. Using a ½-cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture and shape into 8 fish cakes. Transfer to a platter and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Add half the fish cakes and cook for 3 minutes, or until browned. Flip the fish cakes over and cook for 3 minutes, or until browned. Repeat with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and the 4 remaining fish cakes.
- Serve 2 fish cakes per person, with lemon wedges, if desired.
