Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped fish, potatoes, sweet onions, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Shape the Mixture: Take portions of the mixture and shape them into 6 round balls using your hands.
Flatten the Balls: Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand, forming them into neat, round cutlets.
Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until it’s hot and shimmering.
Coat the Cutlets: Crack the egg into a shallow dish and beat it lightly. Dip each cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Fry the Cutlets: Carefully place the coated cutlets into the hot oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping them halfway through cooking.
Drain Excess Oil: Once the cutlets are cooked to perfection, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper. This will help absorb any excess oil.
Serve: Your delicious fish cutlets are now ready to be served hot and crispy. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of fresh salad for a wholesome meal.

Tips and Variations

Baking or Grilling: For a healthier alternative, you can bake or grill the fish cutlets instead of frying them. Simply skip the step of coating them with beaten egg and place them on a baking sheet or grill pan lined with parchment paper. Bake or grill until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Customize Flavors: Feel free to customize the flavors of your fish cutlets by adding herbs and spices such as garlic powder, paprika, or chili flakes to the mixture for an extra kick of flavor.
Make Ahead: These fish cutlets can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving for a quick and convenient meal option.
