Cod And Potato Fritters
From inmaculada 16 years ago
- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 6
This was years ago a typical Spanish Easter dish, normally eaten on Holy Friday. Now it has become an all year round favorite. It can be eaten as main dish along with salad or you can make different fritters with veggies, chicken, and make some nice "tapa" fritters.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound desalted cod flakes (if using fresh, lightly fry and chop) shopping list
- 2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed (better if steamed or microwaved, so they do not absorb so much water) shopping list
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped shopping list
- 2 beaten eggs shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped shopping list
- 1/4 cup beer (any kind is OK) shopping list
- 1 tsp baking powder shopping list
- 3 Tbsp all purpose flour shopping list
- 2 cups of extra virgin spanish olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium bowl place cod, potatoes, onion, eggs, garlic and parsley. Mix well.
- Add beer, baking powder and flour, 2 Tbsp first and if the mix is too light to handle it, then add the other Tbsp. Mixture should be very similar to muffin dough, thick and able to maintain its shape when rounded with a tablespoon.
- Let it rest for at least 1/2 hour so the fritters become tastier, fluffy and lighter when fried.
- Heat the olive oil in a deep pan as fritters should be able to "swim" in the oil.
- When oil is hot but not smoking, pour the mixture by heaping tablespoons into the pan and let it fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden and puffy.
- Drain on paper towel and serve immediately.
- They are delicious served with a side bowl of garlic mayonnaise.
- NOTE: you can keep and reuse the oil as it will not become "dirty" after these fritters.
