Boiled potatoes until the potatoes are very soft.

Now it is time to add the rest of the ingredients. Add the eggs, the fresh dill, the salt, the pepper, and the Italian breadcrumbs. Using a fork mix carefully all the ingredients.
Forming the fish cakes
To make nice and uniform cakes, you can use an ice cream scoop. Scoop some the fish mix, make a ball by rolling the mixture between your hands. Place the fish balls into a plate, set aside while you prepare everything else for the breading step.
Breading the Fish Cakes
Pour 1 cup of Italian breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl.
Break an egg into the other shallow bowl and lightly whip the egg. After, take the plate of the fish balls, and one by one roll the balls into the egg.
When they are lightly coated with egg, roll the balls into the breadcrumbs and place the ball into the flat plate.
Now gently, with your hands, press gently on each ball to make them flat. Keep them aside.
Pour a little a bit of vegetable oil into a skillet. Fry each fish cakes on each side until nicely colored, for about 5 minutes on each side.
Light Tartar sauce
