Tuna cakes are a delicious combination of tuna and mashed potatoes. They are made with a combination consisting of cheese, tuna, and green onions. I have say that the recipe is also great for simple, easy, and delicious mashed potatoes as well.
When put together, the cakes are smoothed out and placed in the fridge to set and later fried up.

Instructions

Place the potatoes into a mixing bowl followed by the milk, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mash until well combined.

Add in the cheese, tuna, and onions. Using a spoon or spatula, mix until well combined.

Spread the mixture out in a 9 by 9 oven dish and smooth the top out. Place some parchment paper over the top and flatten it down. Place in the fridge for about half an hour to set.

Note
After the mixture has set, it is then punched out into cakes and fried in olive oil. Once done, the tuna cakes are to die for. I always have mine with sour cream, but you can use the dipping sauce of your choice. They can also be placed in the freezer and fried up at a later date.
