Recipe for Dropped Cod Fish Balls
|
Ingredients: 1 cup cooked codfish, flaked or 1 package shredded codfish 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2/3 cup hot milk 1 slightly beaten egg 1 pint of cut up and peeled potatoes In large pot, cook the potatoes, adding the salt if you are using fresh fish..Omit the salt if you are using the packaged shredded codfish. When the potatoes are tender, drain the water. Add the fish, egg, and pepper and mash with potato masher, adding the hot milk gradually and beating till light and fluffy. Have a large heavy pan ready, with hot fat in it. Dip a tablespoon into the hot fat, take up a spoonful of this mixture, and then drop into hot fat and cook until brown..(about 2 minutes) Be careful not to crowd the cod fish balls and keep the fat hot. Every time you do a codfish ball, be sure to dip the tablespoon into the hot fat first, then into the mixture, and then drop the mixture into the hot fat. Repeat till all done..If you have a thermometer, the temp of fat should be 390 degrees. Put on paper and pat grease off. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
