Mashed potatoes with salt cod and onions fried.
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces salted cod
  • 12 ounces russet potatoes, unpeeled
  • 1 small onion, very finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Tuscan Seasoning (mix of basil, oregano, aleppo peppers, garlic, thyme, fennel, black peppers and anise seed)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
  1. Place the salt cod in a bowl and cover with cold water. Refrigerate. Change water 4 times over a 12 hour period. Cook cod for 20 minutes in boiling water. Drain well. Flake right away.
  2. Boil the potatoes with the skins on until tender. Remove skins as soon as you can handle the potatoes. Run the potatoes thru a ricer or mash well in a large bowl.
  3. Add the cod, diced onion to the bowl.
  4. Break the eggs into another bowl and scramble well. Add the eggs to the potato mixture with the Tuscan Seasoning. Mix well.
  5. Use a large spoon and get some of the potato mixture. Shape into a long oval shape.
  6. Preheat the oil in a large pan to 370 degrees. Add the fritters to the pan, but do not crowd. I did mine in 3 batches. Drain on a paper towel. Serve while hot.
