I had never made this recipe before, but I remembered an aunt of mine who used to make them deliciously. It's a very old recipe. Some people coat them in flour, others in breadcrumbs. I make them my own way.

Steps

1 hour

1

Boil the potatoes and mash them.
2

Soak the salt cod in water overnight to remove excess salt.
3

Mix the mashed potatoes and the salt cod together.
4

Add the garlic and parsley.
5

Add the whole egg.
6

Beat the egg whites well and shape the mixture into small balls as desired.
7

Heat plenty of oil (I used olive oil) in a skillet over the stove. When the oil is very hot, dip the balls in the beaten egg white and fry them.
8

When they are golden brown, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
