Ingredients

• 1 lb cod fillets
• 2 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• Grapeseed oil, or other high smoke point oil such as canola oil, for frying

Preparation

Step 1

1. Boil and mash the potatoes, set them aside.

2. Boil the codfish until it flakes easily. Drain and flake the fish with a fork. Be sure to remove all bones.

3. Mix the flaked fish, the potatoes and the rest of the ingredients together well by hand. If the mixture is too crumbly, add another egg. If too sticky, add some more bread crumbs.

4. Form the mixture into cakes and fry them on medium high heat in a skillet coated with oil.

These were absolutely delicious and couldn’t be simpler. Left out the parsley, just because I didn’t have it. That would have been a terrific addition, although they were fine without it.
