418       g            Canned pink Alaska salmon
 450       g            Cold mashed potato
 175       g            Raw potato -- grated
   1       t            Vegetable oil
  50       g            Bacon, preferably smoked
                        - chopped
                        Oil for frying
  10                    Soft round rolls
                        -----FOR SERVING-----
                        Salad and relishes
  Drain the salmon and break fish into flakes. Set
  aside. Mix together the mashed and grated potato in a
  bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry
  the bacon until it is crisp. Add the bacon to the
  potato mixture along with the salmon, mixing well to
  break up the salmon.
  
  Divide the mixture into 10 or 12 pieces and shape each
  piece into a burger using hands or a burger maker. Fry
  the burgers gently for 5 minutes on each side, or
  until they are well browned. (It is best to cook 3 or
  4 burgers at one time or the pan will be too crowded
  to turn them over easily.)
  
  Keep the cooked burgers warm whilst preparing the
  rest, then serve in split rolls garnished with salad
  and relishes.
  
  Makes 10-12.
