Boil and mash the potatoes. Flake the salmon and fold it into the mashed potatoes. Mix in parsley and salt and pepper. Form 1/2-inch thick round patties. Brush with beaten egg. Dip in the breadcrumbs and fry in a little oil until golden brown. Serve with bacon and eggs. My wife was a chef at a large private house. All the guests were served these with their bacon and eggs. When I heard I did not fancy this for breakfast. How wrong I was. It goes perfectly with bacon and eggs. Mr Breakfast would like to thank pat casey for this recipe. Recipe number 1851.
