MY MOM ISABEL´S RECIPE FOR COD ROLLS



Ingredients for 20-25 rolls:
- 250-300 grams of cod
- 450-500 grams of potatoes
- 2-3 eggs
- Parsley (to your taste)
- Salt (to your taste). I recommend that you don’t add any or that you only add a little.
- Oil for frying

Directions:

    1.   Desalt the cod to your taste and remove the spines if there are any.


    2.   Once the cod is ready, peal the potatoes and start to fry them. When they’re half-cooked add the cod in the same cooking pot.

    3.   When the cod and the potatoes are cooked put them in a colander / strainer to remove all of the liquid.

     4.   Using a fork mash the potatoes and the cod all together. Add finely minced parsley to your taste on top.
    
    5.   Break two or three eggs and add them to the mixture of potatoes, cod, and parsley.
   
     6.   Mix well using a spoon.

     7.   Finally using two spoons take a quantity and give the roll whatever shape you want. Put the rolls in a frying pan. When they are turning a golden color remove them and put them on a plate with a napkin to remove excess oil.
     
    8.   Enjoy a dish that is delicious and easy to make!
