Prep Time

20 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salted codfish
  • 2 cups boiled potatoes, mashed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • Oil, for frying

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Frying pan
  • Baking sheet
  • Paper towels

Method

  1. Soak the codfish in cold water overnight, changing the water several times to remove the excess salt.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the codfish. Boil for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
  3. Remove the fish from the pot and let it cool. Once it has cooled, flake the fish into small pieces and remove any bones.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, black pepper, and paprika.
  5. Add the flaked codfish to the bowl and mix well.
  6. Using your hands, form the mixture into small, round cakes.
  7. Coat each fish cake in flour, then dip it into the beaten egg mixture, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.
  8. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  9. Once the oil is hot, add the fish cakes to the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove the fish cakes from the pan and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  11. Serve the fish cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For best results, be sure to use salted codfish. If you can't find salted codfish, you can use fresh codfish and add salt to the mixture.
