Peel the potatoes if they’re thick-skinned. Otherwise leave the skin on (less work and more vitamins!). Slice and steam or cook in salted water (I always slice them to reduce steaming/cooking time). Once cooked through (drain the water and) set the potatoes aside
If using canned mackerel, drain and if applicable, scrape off the skin with a knife or fork and remove bones
Mash the potatoes, finely chop the onion, parsley, and mackerel, and mix everything in a bowl with the egg, lemon, salt and pepper, using a fork or your hands (you’ll have to get them dirty anyways)
Form about 8 balls and flatten with your hand to obtain patties
Heat the coconut oil, ghee or butter in a pan on high and brown the patties on both sides. Lower the heat and bake for another 2-4 minutes
