Fish And Potato Fritters Recipes

EASY, STEP BY STEP POTATO AND SALMON FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Put the mashed potatoes, salmon, egg, salt, pepper and parsley together in a bowl.
• Mix all the ingredients together using a fork to break up the fish, then form into patties (if the mixture is too soft, refrigerate for an hour or so before shaping).
• Dip patties into beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs.
• Place on a baking sheet, and continue until the remaining mixture is finished.
• Fry gently over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, adding oil as needed.
• Place on paper-towel lined sheet to absorb the excess oil. Serve as desired.

CRISPY POTATO FISH CAKES WITH COD

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cod, season with salt and pepper; cook until just barely opaque and flakey - better to ever-so-slightly undercook the fish than overcook it at this stage, as you'll be cooking it again in the cakes.
• Transfer to a bowl and break into large flakes with your hands. Add mashed potato, egg, green onion and enough bread crumbs so that the mixture holds a patty shape (if using leftover mash with milk or other liquid added, you'll definitely need the whole cup of crumbs). Use your hands or a big spoon to work everything together until well-combined.
• Place flour on a shallow plate. Form potato mixture into 16 equal patties between the palms of your hands, dredging both sides in the flour and transferring to a baking sheet as you go. Refrigerate fish cakes 20 minutes to firm up.
• Wipe out the fish skillet and return to medium heat; add remaining oil. When shimmering hot, add several fish cakes - you'll need to cook them in a few batches to avoid over-crowding the pan. Serve with tartar sauce.

PORTUGUESE FISH AND POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Soak cod for at least 12 hours in cold water, changing water several times. Then cook fish for about 15 minutes in boiling water. Remove, let cool slightly, remove skin and bones and grind. Peel potatoes, rinse and cook 30 minutes in boiling salted water, drain, let dry and press through a ricer. Peel onion and chop finely. Add potatoes, ground cod, onion and freshly chopped parsley to a bowl and mix thoroughly.
• Stir in wine and season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg. Mix in eggs one at a time to create a moldable dough. If necessary, add flour. Using 2 tablespoons, scoop fritters from the fish mixture and fry until golden brown in hot oil. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and serve lukewarm.

[RECIPE + VIDEO] CODFISH AND POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients and let it rest in the fridge overnight.
• Rinse codfish with running water until all the superficial salt has been washed away. Shred codfish into small pieces and soak overnight in a gallon of water.
• Sieve to get rid of the water. Taste it to make sure it isn't still salty (if it is it need to be soaked in clean water for another two hours).
• Using two forks (or your very pretty hands) shred the codfish very finely.
• Peel and grate the potatoes using the coarsest side of the grater. Grate onion on the same side.
• Mix potato and codfish. Mix in onion, cilantro, salt, pepper and egg.
• Heat half the oil over medium-low heat in a large non-stick frying pan.
• Fry the codfish and potato mixture by forming small patties with two tablespoons of the patties, never more than 3 at a time. Once brown on the bottom side, flip carefully and cook until golden brown all over.
• When you've gone through half of the mixture, add the remaining oil to the pan and heat again. Continue with the process until there is no more mixture.
• Place on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
• Serve on lettuce alongside the yogurt dressing.

SALT COD FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the potato and enough water to cover to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook just until fork tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl to cool for 10 minutes.
• With the back of a heavy fork, mash the potatoes until smooth but still slightly lumpy. Add the salt cod, green onions, parsley, 1 egg, the salt, and cayenne and mix until smooth.
• In a large, deep heavy pot or electric deep fryer, heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour and 1 teaspoon of the Essence. In another bowl, beat together the remaining egg, the milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of the Essence, and in a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining 2 teaspoons Essence.
• Divide the cod mixture into 24 and form into balls, about 1 1/4-inches in diameter and 1 heaping tablespoon each.
• One at a time, dip the cod balls in the flour and roll to coat evenly on all sides. Shake to remove any excess flour, dip in the egg wash, and then roll in the seasoned breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet.
• In batches, gently add the balls to the oil and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2 1/2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• In a large glass or ceramic dish, lay the salt cod in a single layer. Add enough water to cover the fish by 1-inch, cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 6 hours.
• Drain the fish in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Place the fish on a work surface covered with paper towels and press each piece firmly with your hands. Pat the fish dry with paper towels and return to the soaking dish. Cover with fresh water, soaking and draining a total of three more times (for a total of 4 times in all).
• Place the rinsed and dried salt cod in an airtight container until ready to use, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
