    • Boil the Potatoes<\/strong>: Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Prepare the Filling<\/strong>: In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes. Add the canned tuna, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and chopped spring onions. Mix well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Season and Mix<\/strong>: Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Add 1 beaten egg, grated cheese, and 4 tablespoons of flour. Mix everything until it forms a dough-like consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Shape the Schnitzels<\/strong>: Grease your hands with a bit of sunflower oil to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of the dough and shape it into flat schnitzel-like patties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
