1/2 tsp. salt
half and half
2 cups Potato Pearls
3 eggs
Place fillets into a 3 -4 quart sauce
pan with a large volume of water, bring to a boil and turn heat down so that
liquid is simmering. Cook for 10 minutes, remove from heat and leave in water
for 10 – 15 minutes. Rinse under cold water and break into flakes. Be sure to remove all bones. Drain the potatoes WELL! Mix all ingredients except eggs well. Add half and half as needed. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Let mixture set in refrigerator overnight (freezing is better). Portion into 3 oz patties about 3/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Coat as would fried chicken w/egg wash and then 50/50 flour corn meal mix. Carefully side into hot oil. Cook 1 side for 3 minutes, then turn and cook until golden brown.

00:21:46 We're gonna go ahead and boilsome potatoes and some salt cod.
00:21:49 Salt cod is coated in a tremendous amount of salt, almost to the point of fish jerky.
00:21:54 I mean, it is super preserved.
00:21:56 This doesn't have to cook long, only about ten minutes.
00:21:58 that's enough--exactly.
00:22:00 So the potatoes and those are coming up about the same time?
00:22:03 Yep. cool those and start to make the cakes?
00:22:05 Absolutely. got it.
00:22:06 Put the cod in the robot coupe and shred it. got it.
00:22:08 Into the mixing bowl we're gonna put our boiled potatoes and the butter, some salt.
00:22:12 White pepper? white pepper.
00:22:13 this is, uh, this is actually my grandmother's recipe also.
00:22:16 half-and-half is next, eggs, potato pearls.
00:22:19 Potato pearls is a fancy word for freeze-dried potatoes.
00:22:22 add some sautéed onions and salt cod.really shredded that up.
00:22:28 Yep.so we're gonna mix this up.
00:22:30 I can smellthe salt cod from here.

00:22:34 cake patties.that's a healthy portion.
00:22:37 It is indeed. you want meto squishy the pape-y?
00:22:40 If you'd like to squish the paper, please do.see the teamwork?
00:22:43 give it just one slight press pop it in the freezer yep, until we're ready to fry them.
00:22:49 Ladies and gentlemen,let me introduce you to what a true professional dredging station is like.
00:22:54 You got the chicken,got the shrimp, the clam strips, you could make it all happen from here.
00:22:59 Go ahead and take your cod cake, submerge it in the egg wash.
00:23:01 it's a cornmeal flour.
00:23:04 You do wet hand-dry hand with this?
00:23:05 I do wet hand-wet hand.there you go.
00:23:07 So you get bigking kong fingers. absolutely.
00:23:09 put it in the basket.
00:23:11 And get the second cod cake-- same process.
00:23:12 Shake it out.
00:23:13 And you can go ahead and drop that if you'd like.
00:23:15 when they start to float, and they get a nice golden brown-- it takes about four, four and a half minutes.
00:23:21 kind of degrease them a little bit.
00:23:22 that's how it goes.salted cod with boiled potato.
00:23:26 This is an old new england recipe, you know, back pre-refrigeration days.mmm.
00:23:28 That's a surpriser right there.
00:23:31 Anybody that's ever had salted cod knows it's just like, wow,but this has little snaps of the seafood,a little saltiness.
