How to make Cod Cakes Recipe

4 SERVINGS

Ingredients:
8 ounces Codfish fillets
2 cups All-purpose potatoes, peeled, cooked,
mashed
1 teaspoon Parsley, minced
1 teaspoon Chives, minced
Pinch Mace
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons Heavy cream
to taste Salt and white pepper
1/2 cup Bread crumbs, dry
1/4 cup Butter, clarified
1 teaspoon Parsley, minced, for garnish

Method:
Poach the codfish until just cooked; drain and cool. Chop into 1/2-inch (1.2 cm) pieces.

Add the mashed potatoes, parsley, chives, mace, and white pepper and mix well.

Add the egg and mix again.

Form into 8 patties about 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) thick.

Dip both sides of each patty into bread crumbs to coat.

Heat butter and fry patties about 4 minutes on each side, until brown and crisp.

Drain on paper towels, garnish with parsley, and serve with Tartar Sauce (page 22).

For Codfish Balls:
Prepare the same recipe but roll mixture into 1-inch (2.54 cm) balls. Fry in hot oil and serve as hors d’oeuvre.
