Fried Tuna Patties with Yogurt Dill Sauce is one of those rare combinations of cheap, quick and delicious. We must have eaten tuna patties ( or “tuna croquettes” if you want to get real Southern) at least once a week growing up. Embrace the canned tuna and whip up this family favorite!

I have a deep, abiding love for fried tuna patties. Isn’t that weird? I just can’t seem to get enough of them. It’s not just tuna either. Any kind of fried disc of seafood is nearly irresistible to me.  I know some people think I am nuts wen I say that. To some, the thought of a “patty” of any kind conjures up memories of horrible cafeteria food in grade school or something their great aunt Edna served up next to the Jello mold in the 70’s.

But not me. I would have loved your great aunt Edna and I probably would have eaten the Jello mold too.

Fried Tuna Patties

But this is not Edna’s “patty”. This is delicious and, dare I say, nutritious. You can sneak all manner of veggies into this Fried Tuna Patties with Yogurt Dill Sauce with no one being the wiser. The dill sauce is also deceptive since it is made with Greek yogurt; my new favorite dairy item. Pair this with a salad or some buttered noodles with peas ( for the kiddos) and you have got yourself a meal that comes together in well under 30 minutes. And you didn’t even have to leave the house in order to make it.

I love that. I am all into cleaning out the pantry these days.

    […] a lot more. My son in particular has taken to anything that involves cracking eggs. We started with tuna patties and have now moved on to frittatas. He stands next to me with his daddy’s grin and a towel thrown […]
