1
Prepare the cod
Soak the salted cod in water for 24 hours, changing the water several times. After soaking, drain and flake the cod into small pieces.
2
Cook the potatoes
In a pot, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth.
3
Mix ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flaked cod, mashed potatoes, beaten eggs, flour, minced garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until a thick batter forms.
4
Fry the fritters
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
