• You can add breadcrumbs or flour to the mixture if it's too wet and difficult to form into patties.
• For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic or chopped spring onions to the mixture.
• If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil or other herbs like parsley or dill.

• Store the cooked tuna potato and fetta cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the cakes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or heat them in a pan over medium heat until warmed through.
• Serve the cakes hot with a side salad, lemon wedges, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or tartar sauce.
