1 (15 1/2 oz.) can pink salmon (bones, skin, dark flesh & water removed)
4 lg. potatoes, peeled & cut
Black pepper to taste
Onion powder to taste
Garlic powder to taste
1 med. onion, chopped fine
1 egg
Flavored bread crumbs
Butter for frying

Flake salmon in a large bowl and set aside. Boil potatoes until soft. Drain and mash adding onion powder, garlic powder and salt if desired. Add onion, whole egg and enough bread crumbs to absorb egg. Add the salmon to this and mix very well to evenly distribute the salmon. Form into patties 1/4" thick and 1" round. Pat each salmon cake into bread crumbs. Fry over medium heat in butter until dark brown, turning frequently.
