Tuna Fishcakes

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled depending on how many mouths you are feeding. If you don't have any left over mash you can buy it in the supermarket for about £1 so it's still budget friendly! Try adding a small tin of sweetcorn in place of the spring onions or using tinned salmon instead of tuna!
