Kate Miller
Serve up plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 cans tuna, well-drained
- 1/2 small onion, minced
- 2 stalks celery, minced
- 1 cup bread crumbs, divided
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying (more, or less, if needed)
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the tuna, onion, celery, 1/3 cup bread crumbs, eggs, and seasonings. Stir until fully combined.
- Pour remaining 2/3 cup bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Pat about a tablespoon worth of tuna mixture into a round patty. Cover both sides with bread crumbs.
- Pour enough oil into a skillet to cover the bottom. Heat over medium heat. Add the breaded patties and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
