CRISPY POTATO FISH CAKES WITH COD

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cod, season with salt and pepper; cook until just barely opaque and flakey - better to ever-so-slightly undercook the fish than overcook it at this stage, as you'll be cooking it again in the cakes.
• Transfer to a bowl and break into large flakes with your hands. Add mashed potato, egg, green onion and enough bread crumbs so that the mixture holds a patty shape (if using leftover mash with milk or other liquid added, you'll definitely need the whole cup of crumbs). Use your hands or a big spoon to work everything together until well-combined.
• Place flour on a shallow plate. Form potato mixture into 16 equal patties between the palms of your hands, dredging both sides in the flour and transferring to a baking sheet as you go. Refrigerate fish cakes 20 minutes to firm up.
• Wipe out the fish skillet and return to medium heat; add remaining oil. When shimmering hot, add several fish cakes - you'll need to cook them in a few batches to avoid over-crowding the pan. Serve with tartar sauce.

NOVA SCOTIA FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Put the fish and milk in a medium saucepan. Refrigerate at least an hour.
• Peel the potatoes and put in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are soft. Drain thoroughly, mash and season well with salt and pepper.
• In a small skillet, melt butter, add scallions and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the refrigerator and place over medium-low heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and cook the fish until flaky, 5 to 7 minutes; do not overcook. Remove from heat, drain off the milk and allow to cool. Using a fork, break the fish into large flakes.
• Lightly beat one of the eggs and stir into the cooled potato mixture with the scallions and Worcestershire sauce. Add the flaked fish and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and gently fold into the mixture. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Form patties about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick for entree portions, or 2 inches in diameter for appetizer portions.
• Beat the remaining 2 eggs in a small bowl and put the bread crumbs in another. Dip the patties first in the beaten egg and then the bread crumbs. Heat about 1/8 of an inch of oil in a frying pan, adding more as needed. Fry the patties for just a few minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve warm with lemon, tartar sauce, chutney or chowchow.

GOLDEN CRUSTED FISH AND POTATO CAKES WITH DILL YOGHURT

Steps:

• De-bone fish and dice into small cubes (about the size of your little finger tip).
• Coarsely grate 4 potatoes and Finely grate 2 potatoes.Gently squeeze some of the excess juice from the grated potatoes (however, don't go overboard).
• Combine fish and potato with parsley, salt and pepper.
• Add instant mash/potato flakes to bind the mixture together (you may need slightly more or less, depending on the amount of moisture left in your potatoes).
• Roll fish cakes by hand, coating them in a mixture of potato flakes and salt.
• Place oil in a frying pan (skillet), on medium heat (enough oil to fry, but not too much, as they can absorb quite a bit of oil).
• Once up to temperature fry fishcakes for approximately 7 minutes a side, or until golden brown and warm throughout. (You may need to adjust the temperature from time to time to ensure they do not burn).
• When finished, place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• For the dill yoghurt, simply combine dill and yoghurt, and dollop onto your fish cakes.
• Serve with rocket (arugula)/salad and your favourite dressing.

FISH CAKES WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Gently boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until they are tender. Drain and mash. Add the cream and butter and mix well. Set aside, but do not refrigerate.
• While the potatoes are cooking, simmer fish fillets in water to cover until they are cooked through. Drain well, flake the fish and mix it with potatoes.
• Add the chopped onions and lightly beaten egg to the fish-potato mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. This recipe may be made ahead of time up to this point and refrigerated, covered.
• When ready to cook, form the fish mixture into cakes similar to small hamburgers, about two and one-half inches in diameter. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate or dry surface and pat the fish cakes in the crumbs to coat well.
• Heat one tablespoon of bacon dripping (for flavor) and one tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Saute the fish cakes until they are brown on both sides. Serve immediately.

COD FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot of water, bring the water to a boil. Let the potatoes cook until they are almost tender.
• Add the fish to the pot and let the fish and potatoes cook until they are both soft. Drain well and transfer the potatoes and fish to a large mixing bowl.
• Add butter, onion, parsley, and egg to the bowl; mash the mixture together. Mold the mixture into patties.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Fry the patties on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.
