Cook potatoes by placing in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of your chunks, until soft or use leftover mash.
Drain potatoes and mash in pan until soft and fluffy. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Meanwhile poach fish in a pan for approx 5 minutes on a medium heat with sufficient milk to cover the fillet
Lift out cooked fish and place in a mixing bowl.
Combine salmon/fish with mashed potato, flaked smokies, onion, mashed boiled egg, herbs and seasoning. If the mixture is a little dry you can add a tablespoon of the poaching milk.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into patties.
Dip in flour, then egg and crumb. Set aside to chill if possible before cooking.
Pan fry for 5 minutes per side until golden.
