Cook the potato in water or steam it.

When the potato is cooked, drain if necessary and mash. Add salmon, vegetables, parsley, salt and pepper and stir until combined.

Place flour on a plate or on a large sheet of waxed paper or parchment and place breadcrumbs on another plate or on a piece of paper. Place the beaten egg in a shallow bowl.

Form the salmon mixture into patties the size of hamburger patties. One at a time, coat both sides in flour, dip in egg and coat in breadcrumbs.

In a large skillet, pour 1/8 inch (0.5 cm) of vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. When the oil begins to heat, gently drop the patties into the skillet and cook until golden on both sides, using a wide spatula to flip them over. As soon as the cooking is finished, place on absorbent paper and gently blot the top of the pâté. Serve immediately.
