[edit] Description

This recipe taken from www.Portuguese-recipes.com

[edit] Ingredients

• 1 lb. of salt cod
• 4 large potatoes peeled and cut in quarters
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup of parsley finely chopped
• 1 tbsp. of Onion finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper

[edit] Directions

1. Soak cod fish overnight. The next day pour off old water and add new enough to cover the fish. Bring fish to a boil. This reduces the amount of salt in the fish. Taste a small sample of the fish, if it is still to salty change the water and boil again.
2. Meanwhile cook the potatoes until tender. Mash the cod and the potatoes together. Add the eggs, parsley, Onion, and pepper mix this well.
3. Shape into balls and flatten out to the shape of a patty. Fry them in oil until golden brown all over. Drain on paper towels.
4. P.S. If the mix is to moist use a little flour to dry the mixture but not to much as you want them a little moist. If the mix is to dry use another egg to add moisture.
