Method

For the Croquettes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the drained and flaked cod, mashed potatoes, sautéed onions and garlic, chopped parsley, egg, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  5. 5

    Form the Croquettes

    Shape the mixture into small oval or round patties. Coat each patty with bread crumbs.

  6. 6

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

For the Spicy Aioli

  1. 7

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  2. 8

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the aioli and adjust the salt or hot sauce to your preference.
