Delicious tuna sweetcorn patties

These patties are a classic recipe that’s been around for years. The tuna mix is made all the more tasty thanks to the addition of sweet corn, potatoes, herbs and a little horseradish for good measure.

It’s as simple as mix and mould, with the patties rolled in breadcrumbs to create a lovely crunchy coating. Shallow fry until they’re crispy and golden and then serve immediately with steamed veg or a side salad.

• 750g potatoes, peeled, quartered
• 425g can tuna, drained
