Ingredients

• 500 grams cod fillets
• 300 grams potatoes
• 30 grams butter
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons, fresh, finely chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 large egg yolks
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 large, beaten eggs
• 100 grams breadcrumbs
• 500 ml (for frying) vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and boil until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Place the cod fillets in a pot and add water to cover them. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. Drain and flake the cod with a fork, removing any bones or skin. Set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flaked cod, sautéed onion and garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and egg yolks. Mix well until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5

Shape the mixture into small oval croquettes, about 5 cm in length. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.

Step 6

Set up a breading station. Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Coat each croquette in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally roll in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a breadcrumb sizzles upon contact. Fry the croquettes in small batches, turning occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the croquettes from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the cod croquettes hot, with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a light salad on the side.
