1

Put the potato in a small pot and cover it with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
2

Drain and let it steam dry in the pot for 1 to 2 minutes.
3

Move the potato to a large bowl and mash it with a potato masher or a fork.
4

Add tuna, onion, egg, mustard, bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper, and stir until evenly combined. Divide the tuna mixture into eight equal portions and shape them into patties.
5

Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tuna patties and cook until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
