Method



1. Mix together all the ingredients for the tartare sauce and chill (you won' t need all the mixture, leftovers will keep for 3-4 days in a covered container in the fridge).2. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2. Spread the crumbs over a baking sheet and dry in the oven for 10-15 minutes until pale and golden, stirring halfway.3. Peel and cut the potatoes in chunks. Cook in boiling salted water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain well and mash with a fork.4. Meanwhile, put the fish in a frying pan with just enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes until just cooked. Remove the fish with a palette knife and put on a plate. When it is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and any bones. Flake the fish.5. Carefully mix the potato, fish, hard-boiled egg, lemon, parsley, salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Shape into four round cakes using floured hands.6. Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Coat each cake in the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Reshape if necessary. At this stage they can be chilled for 24 hours.7. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the cakes over a medium heat for 5 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden on both sides. Serve with the tartare sauce.
