Add the mashed, cooked potato, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well until all is combined..
Add chopped peppers. Mix until well incorporated..
Shape mixture into egg shaped ovals and roll in panko bread crumbs. If mixture seems dry, just add some of the liquid drained from salmon a little at a time so it will hold together. Usually just 1 to 2 teaspoons at a time if necessary..
I usually shape mine about the size of egg, servings just depends on size you make these..
Deep fry a few at a time to brown and keep from crowding. Flip around if necessary to evenly brown..
This only takes a few minutes. so watch carefully..
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or cooling rack. Place in 200°F oven to keep warm if necessary..
