Can someone please tell me how to make street-style fishballs?

Question

I recently went on a holiday to the Philippines and I got really addicted to those fishballs that street vendors sell. I am craving them now and I haven't found anyone selling similar items here in Sydney, Australia. They are mostly flour/starch based and there's not much fish in them at all. Does anyone have the recipe for how to make these scrumptious snacks? Thanks :)

PERFECT FISH BALLS

Peel and cut up potatoes and cook until tender - drain and mash very thoroughly, add butter, pepper and egg and beat until light and fluffy.
