- 2-2/3 cups potatoes
- 1 egg well beaten
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Few grains pepper
Make it lactose-friendly
- 1 tablespoon butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil
Steps
- PROCESS: Wash fish and cover with cold water; let stand several hours, "pick up" in small pieces. Wash, pare and cut potatoes in small cubes, measure them, soak in cold water for an hour; cook with fish in boiling water until potatoes are soft. Drain through a sieve until quite dry; return to sauce-pan in which they were cooked, mash thoroughly that there may be no lumps left in potatoes. Add butter, egg and pepper. Beat with a slotted wooden spoon until very light. Season with salt if necessary. Take up by rounded tablespoons, place in croquette basket and fry one minute in deep hot Cottolene (frying six fish balls at a time); drain on brown paper. Allow fat to reheat between fryings.
