3-4 eggs
1finely chopped medium onion
2minced garlic cloves
10mlof oil
Chopped parsley to taste
Black pepper to taste
Powdered or grated nutmeg to taste

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.
