3. Drain potatoes, cool and peel them.
4. Shred potatoes into strips using the coarse side of a grater.
5. Add potato and breadcrumbs to salmon mixture and mix gently with your fingers; try not to break up the strips of potato too much.
6. Divide mixture into 8 portions, shape each portion into a compact cake of approx 1/2 inch in thickness, pressing well together.
7. Coat the cakes lightly with flour, shaking off excess.
8. Heat oil in skillet, and fry salmon cakes for 3-5 minutes each side (until crisp and golden brown).
