Place the potatoes, flaked fish and the parsley in a bowl and season generously. Combine together well then shape into 8 cakes. Dip each cake in the flour, shake off the excess, then dip in the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Chill until required. They may be stored in the fridge for upto 24 hours. To make the sauce, place the reserved milk in a saucepan with the butter and cornflour and cook gently, stirring until thickened. Add the remaining ingredients and season to taste. simmer for 1-2 minutes. Cover and leave until required - it can be kept for up to 24 hours in the fridge. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large, ideally non-stick, frying pan and cook the fish cakes in batches if necessary for about 5 minutes on each side over a medium heat until crisp and golden. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve at once with the sauce and a vegetable of your choice.
