- 1 cup cooked codfish, flaked
or 1 package shredded codfish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2/3 cup hot milk
- 1 slightly beaten egg
- 1 pint of cut up and peeled potatoes
In large pot, cook
the potatoes, adding the salt if you are using fresh
fish..Omit the salt if you are using the packaged shredded
codfish. When the potatoes are
tender, drain the water. Add the fish, egg, and pepper and mash
with potato masher, adding the hot milk gradually and beating till
light and fluffy. Have a large heavy pan ready,
with hot fat in it. Dip a tablespoon into
the hot fat, take up a spoonful of this mixture, and then drop into hot
fat and cook until brown..(about 2 minutes) Be careful not to
crowd the cod fish balls and keep the fat hot. Every time you do
a codfish ball, be sure to dip the
tablespoon into the hot fat first, then into the mixture, and then drop
the mixture into the hot fat. Put on
paper and pat grease off. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon
wedges.
