Procedure
This recipe is inspired by classic Portuguese codfish balls.
To speed up the recipe, I recommend cooking the codfish in a pot or steaming it.
Boil the potato in plenty of water. Once cooked, peel and mash it. Add the crumbled codfish and 1 egg and blend until you obtain a thick mixture.
Shape the balls and then pass them through the egg and then the breadcrumbs. All that is left is to fry them in plenty of oil until golden brown.
Your codfish balls are ready!
