• 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil for frying the cakes

1. Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over medium heat.

3. Drain and set aside to cool.
4. Dice the potatoes and place them into a mixing bowl.
5. Add the onion to the potatoes in the mixing bowl.
6. Break the trout into small chunks by hand and add it to the mixture.
7. Add the parsley, flour, and mayonnaise and blend well.
8. Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 ovals and flatten them slightly.
9. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 1 minute.
10. Fry the trout cakes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown on one side; then flip and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
11. Serve immediately.
