- 1 medium potato peeled and boiled
- 1 small onion diced and sautéed
- 1 stalk celery diced and sautéed
- 1 can tuna mostly drained and flaked
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 scallion diced
- ½ small carrot shredded, optional
- 2 tablespoons matzo meal or whole wheat flour
In a small pot, place the potato and boil until soft. Drain and mash. Reserve for later use.
Place onion and celery in a small saute pan and saute for 7 minutes until just turning brown.
Put them in a large bowl, add tuna, egg whites, salt, pepper, scallion, carrot and matzo meal or flour. Add mashed potato and combine by hand until well mixed.
Heat a non-stick saute pan and spray with some cooking spray.
Make small balls out of this mixture by hand and lay them on the skillet to brown. Flatten slightly with a fork, taking care not to break them.
Fry on both sides until browned and slightly crispy. Serve immediately.
