Salt Cod and Potato Fish Cakes

Golden pan-fried cakes of soaked salt cod and mashed potato with mustard and anchovy.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Soak the salt cod in cold water in the refrigerator for 16 hours, replacing the water three times. Drain.

  2. Step 2

    Cover the cod with fresh water, simmer five minutes, drain and remove every bone. Flake finely.

  3. Step 3

    Boil enough potatoes to yield 450 g after cooking and peeling; weigh that net amount and mash smooth. Mix with cod, eggs, mustard, nutmeg, pepper and anchovy sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Spread flour on a work surface, form six equal cakes and dust them lightly. Chill briefly if the mixture is too soft to hold together.

  5. Step 5

    Melt butter in a broad skillet over medium heat and fry cakes about three minutes per side, adjusting heat until golden and 74 C at the centre because raw egg was mixed in. Drain and serve hot.
