I made these for my husband who loves both tuna and potatoes, so where can you go wrong! Like Tisme, I baked them in the oven, so perhaps they might have had a crisper crust if pan-fried, but DH was very happy with them like this, he enjoyed them with salads for his lunch! Thank you Tis, a great success, made for ZWT9, Pink Panthers!

These had really mixed reviews at our house. DH and DS1 enjoyed them and thought they were a nice change of pace, DD1, DD2, and I found something very off-putting about the spice combination. Maybe it was the combination of cinnamon and coriander? Who knows. I added salt based on previous reviews and DH added more at the table. Using a 1/3 c measuring cup as a scoop I got 11 patties. Made for ZWT 9, Gourmet Goddesses.

These were a nice twist on tuna patties, and would be great with just a few adjustments for personal taste. I did find the patties rather dry, and they really could use some salt mixed in and fresh pepper mixed in. I wanted to take these to work for lunch, so I made 5 from the mixture (one for each day of the work week). They were a good size, so I cooked them a bit longer. I also probably could have added some more oil to the pan. Made by a Tasty Tester for ZWT9.

Made for the Goddesses of ZWR-9 - Like another reviewer, I made a half recipe using a whole egg (an easy-fix for sure). The spicing was mild-& the cinnamon clearly present to my great pleasure. They held together well, but were a bit dry so some lime juice may have been a good add for more flavor & a more moist texture. The meal was cuisine fusion - A Moroccan main-dish w/an Asian side-dish. Thx for sharing your recipe w/us. - Edited to Add: By the time I remembered the yogurt, it was far too late for our meal & the pic.

I made half a recipe and got 4 very nice size patties. Half a recipe calls for 1/2 an egg. After looking at the mixture I added in the whole egg and they held together nicely. The patties were made several hours prior to cooking and then refrigerated. They were browned slowly in a covered skillet with a small amount of oil. The yogurt topping is perfect with these. Made for ZWT9.
