Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Soak the salt cod in three changes of cold water for one hour. Remove skin and use a sharp knife to chop the fish. Rinse again, drain, pat dry and set the fish aside.

  2. Step 2

    Peel the potatoes and boil them until tender, about 25 minutes. Remove, drain and cool under cold running water until the potatoes are cool enough to handle. Using a ricer or a fork, gently flake the potatoes.

  3. Step 3

    Place the potatoes, fish, egg, ginger and black pepper in a bowl and use a fork to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Add salt to taste and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Melt half the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Form the mixture into 8 4-inch patties and press them into the bread crumbs, completely coating each patty. Fry over medium heat until golden on each side, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from pan, drain well on paper towels and serve.
