Fritters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salt Cod

    Soak the salt cod in water for 24 hours, changing the water several times. After soaking, drain and rinse the cod.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potato

    Boil the cubed potato in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

  3. 3

    Make the Fritter Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the soaked cod (broken into pieces), mashed potato, flour, egg, green onions, parsley, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fritters

    Using a spoon, drop small amounts of the fritter mixture into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with malt vinegar tartar sauce and spicy ketchup on the side.
