Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Soak the salted cod in cold water for at least 12 hours, changing the water every 3-4 hours. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. Flake into small pieces and set aside.

  2. Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth.

  3. Add the flaked salted cod, chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, and all-purpose flour to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.

  4. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and gradually add to the potato and fish mixture, stirring continuously until a slightly sticky batter forms.

  5. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Shape the batter into round patties about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

  6. Fry the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  7. Transfer the cooked cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
