Crispy Cod Cakes

Begin by submerging potatoes into a substantial container filled with salted water, then initiate boiling. Gradually decrease the heat to a moderate-low setting and maintain the temperature for approximately 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are nearly tender. Next, introduce cod into the pot and continue cooking until both the cod and potatoes have reached a soft consistency, about an additional 5 minutes.

Subsequently, carefully remove the cooked potatoes from the pot and transfer them to a spacious mixing bowl. Incorporate an egg, butter, onion, and parsley into the mixture, then utilize a mashing motion until all components are harmoniously combined. Finally, shape the mashed mixture into four distinct patties.

Subsequently, heat oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat setting. Introduce the patties into the skillet and cook until they have attained a golden brown color, approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess moisture before serving.
