Preparation
- Step 1
Soften the scallions in the butter. Combine with the cod and potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the parsley, mustard and eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Shape the cod mixture into small patties about three inches across and roll them in bread crumbs. Put on a rack to dry for 15 minutes.
- Step 3
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the patties three or four at a time, so they do not crowd the pan, until they are lightly browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels and keep them warm in a low oven until ready to eat. Serve with lemon quarters.

I made these, but they were way too soft to pat up. The mistake was mine; I made "mashed potatoes" with cream and butter rather than just mashed potatoes. So I mixed the bread crumbs into the cod potato mixture. Portioned with a 1/3 c, smashed to 1/2" thick and froze for thirty minutes. Deep-fried up beautifully. Very, very tasty with the lemon.
I dint feel like cooking potatoes, but remembered I had dried potato flakes- worked like a charm!
A little bland. Family asked me to jazz it up with more spices next time or add a lot more mustard. Overall, a good recipe that we will try again. Modifications: 1) 2 medium potatoes 2) 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs in the mix itself - rather than the 3rd potato 3) A lot more than 1/2 c peanut oil. Used extra large pan to fry all at one time Yielded about 8-9 patties.
