Ingredients

  • 600 g of soaked cod
  • 800 g of potato
  • 3-4 eggs
  • 1 finely chopped medium onion
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 10 ml of oil
  • Chopped parsley to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Powdered or grated nutmeg to taste
  • salt to taste
  • olive oil or oil
  • Frying oil

Instructions

  • In a pan with boiling water, put the cod to cook for 10 minutes.
  • Cook the potatoes in boiling water and season with salt, cook until soft.
  • After the cod is cooked, drain and let it cool.
  • After the potatoes are cooked, drain and puree the potatoes without milk or butter, just pure mashed potatoes.
  • When cool, clean the cod, removing bones, skin and shredding.
  • In a pan, heat the oil, onion and garlic, let it sauté slowly, just to brown without burning. Stir well for the cod to shred more and more for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, with the cod sautéed and broken up, turn off the heat.
  • Add the cod and parsley to the puree, season with black pepper, salt and nutmeg and mix everything very well.
  • Add one egg at a time to the cod, do not add them all at once, because you have to combine them consistently and mix well.
  • This dough must be well bound and consistent so that the dumplings are not soft to shape in the spoon.
  • Unite 2 tablespoons (soup) with olive oil and remove a spoon of dough, pass the dough from spoon to spoon until it is in the shape of the cod pastel.
  • Fry in hot oil. And be careful not to burn, turn the dumplings to fry on both sides.
  • Once fried, place on a plate with a paper towel to drain the oil and serve.
