Boil 1kg peeled and diced potatoes in a large pan of water for 10 mins or until tender. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash.
Boil 300g frozen peas for 2 mins. Drain, mix with the mash and flake in 250g smoked mackerel fillets, discarding the skin and any bones.
Shape the mixture into 12 patties and chill for 30 mins. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the fish cakes for 5 mins each side or until piping hot.
Serve the fishcakes whilst still hot, with salad, lemon wedges and a dollop of mayo, if you like.

Make a batch of these fishcakes ahead of time, freeze and reheat as needed. To freeze, leave to cool completely, wrap in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen (still covered) in a medium oven for 20 mins or until piping hot. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 2-3 months of their freezing date.
