I made these tonight for dinner. They were really fast and simple as the title says. DH wasn't home and I wasn't sure when he would get home, so I did everything except fry the patties before hand. Then when he arrived, I went ahead and fried the patties. The next time I make these I will leave the water out as that made them to loose to form into patties. I had to spoon them into the skillet and then kind of pat and spread them out. They tasted great and the fish and potatoes did not over-power each other. Thank you for sharing this recipe Chuck!!!

I made these for my family a couple of weeks ago and I must say, we thoroughly enjoyed them. I took the other reviewers advice and left out the water. Had no problem forming the cakes. Fried to a delicate crisp. They had a wonderful soft texture on the inside. I used cod fillets. Thanks Chuck for sharing your recipe :D

I left out the water which make it easier to form the cakes. Great camping recipe.

I liked this, Chuck. Quick and simple. But the second time I left out the water, much better consistency, well for me anyway. I also added a big pinch of dill tops because I like it with fish.

Made these, after reading the reviews. I usually follow the recipe exactly the first time I make something. This time however I decided to tweak this one a bit. I added 1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper, 1 1/2 tsp of Lemon Pepper seasoning plus a good handful of finely chopped parsley.I did NOT add the Tbs of water as many reviewers suggested. I let the mixture cool before molding it into patties. Then I placed them in the freezer. Once frozen I floured, egged and breaded them. I left four out for dinner and returned the other eight to the freezer for dinner another night. I fried them in very shallow vegetable oil, they were so good can't wait to have them again!
