Make the mashed potatoes or use some leftovers.
Fry up the diced onion/peppers/corn in a pan over medium-low heat, just so they're a little softened.
Mix the tuna, mashed potatoes, and diced vegetables in a bowl, adding some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to taste.
Form the mixture into little cakes about 2-3 cm thick and throw them in the fridge for a bit or until you're good and ready.
Pan fry over medium heat with a decent amount of oil, about 5 minutes each side.
Serve with some mayo on top. Booyahkah !

Mash:
Boil up some potatoes until you can stick a fork in them (easily).
Salt the water first to increase the boiling temperature.
While that's happening, put some milk in a saucepan and throw in some herbs (like thyme or rosemary), some garlic, and some butter. Heat that up over low heat and then strain it.
