• Grated Lemon Zest

• 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 2 Pickles, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Start by boiling the **potatoes** until tender. Once cooked, peel and mash them in a large bowl. This will form the base of our dish.

2. Mix the Main Ingredients

In the same bowl, add the **canned tuna**, beaten **eggs**, fresh herbs, and spices to the mashed potatoes. Make sure to combine everything thoroughly. The mixture should be cohesive yet slightly chunky for texture.

3. Shape and Coat

With your hands, shape the mixture into patties. For extra crunch, dip each patty into the **beaten egg** and then coat with **breadcrumbs**.

4. Fry to Perfection

In a skillet, heat **vegetable oil** over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides—about 4-5 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

5. Prepare the Sauce

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcooking the Potatoes: Make sure they are tender but not mushy.
