Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound salt cod
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Coarse salt
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1 1/2 quarts canola oil

Steps:

  • Cover cod with cold water in a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 12 hours, changing water twice.
  • Drain and rinse cod. Transfer to a large saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. Drain and rinse cod. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel, and roll back and forth until cod is dry and finely shredded. Shake into a small bowl; set aside.
  • Cover potatoes with cold water in a clean large saucepan; season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, then mash in saucepan; set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in cod. Cook until it looks dry, about 3 minutes. Stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl; let cool.
  • Stir eggs and reserved potatoes into cod mixture, mashing ingredients to combine. Mold about 1 tablespoon mixture into a log (slightly taper ends) about 2 inches long. Repeat with remaining cod mixture. Roll logs in breadcrumbs.
  • Heat canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it registers 360 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Working in batches to avoid crowding, fry logs, turning occasionally, until just golden brown, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer to lined sheet to drain. (Adjust heat between batches as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature.) If not serving immediately, keep warm in a 275 degree oven up to 30 minutes.

Hands down the best salt cod croquette recipe I've ever tried. The croquettes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a perfectly balanced flavor of salt cod, potatoes, and herbs. My family and friends loved them!
