Make mashed potatoes: Cook potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water 10–15 minutes or until tender. Drain thoroughly, return to the pan with the butter and mash until very smooth.
Add flavourings: Add horseradish, parsley, spring onions and corn to the hot mashed potato and stir thoroughly, then add tuna and season to taste. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
Make fishcakes: Shape mixture into eight thick flat cakes, each measuring about 7 cm in diameter. Dust them on both sides with flour.
Cook fishcakes: Heat oil in a large frying pan, preferably non-stick. Add fishcakes and cook over medium heat 3–4 minutes on each side or until well browned, turning them carefully with a spatula. If you don’t have a large enough pan, cook them in two batches, keeping the first batch warm while you cook the second. Serve hot with lemon mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
