Preparation
- Boil the potatoes and the codfish.
- Once they are cooked, drain the potatoes and mash them using a potato ricer and set aside in a bowl.
- While the potatoes are cooling, clean the codfish by removing the skin and bones.
- Shred the cod using a clean kitchen towel (this will help absorb excess moisture and ensure the cod remains dry).
- Add it to the bowl with the mashed potatoes.
- Mix in the parsley, onion, salt, and pepper.
- Start incorporating the eggs one at a time.
- Continue mixing until the batter reaches the right texture.
- Depending on the potatoes (some retain more water), you might need more or fewer eggs.
- Let the mixture rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- To form the cod fritters, use two spoons to shape them or form them by hand.
Tip: Don’t fry more than 4-5 fritters at a time. Overloading the pan will lower the oil temperature, causing the fritters to absorb more oil and become greasy.
