One pint bowl salt fish picked up very fine, 2 pint bowls of potatoes, pared whole and raw. Put the fish and potatoes together into cold water, and boil until the potatoes are wholly cooked, remove from the fire and drain off all the water, then mash with a potato masher, add a piece of butter the size of an egg, two well-beaten eggs and a little pepper. Mix well with a wooden spoon, and then sprinkle some flour upon your moulding board, and also some on the hands, and take small piece of the fish mixture and roll in the hands to about the size of a small egg. Then fry in hot fat as you would doughnuts.
