Quarter the potatoes and cover them with cold salted water.

Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until soft.

Drain the potatoes and roughly mash them, leaving some chunks for texture.

Finely chop the tips of the dill and parsley, using the stems as well.

Add lemon zest, breadcrumbs, and one lightly beaten egg to the mashed potatoes.

Gently mix in the flaked hot smoked fish and season with salt and pepper.

Shape the mixture into even patties and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Dust the chilled patties with flour to prevent sticking and for a crispy coating.

Heat olive oil in a fry pan until hot, about 5 millimeters deep.

Cook the patties in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Keep the cooked patties warm in the oven while finishing the remaining batches.

Prepare dill and cornichon mayonnaise by mixing whole egg mayonnaise with chopped cornichons and dill.

Serve the fish cakes with the mayonnaise, lemon wedges, and peppery watercress.
