Codfish Balls Recipe
Shred cold boiled codfish very fine, add to it an equal quantity, (or even more), of mashed potatoes. Moisten with 1 beaten egg, or 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls of sweet milk.Season with pepper and a little butter. Make small flat cakes, flour and fry brown in hot dripping or lard. A more delicate dish is made by dipping the balls in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs and drop in boiling lard fry like fritters or croquettes. This is a more healthful method as less lard is absorbed. Some cooks add a dash of sage or thyme to the seasoning. This is a very nice breakfast dish.
