1 pt. bowl of raw codfish, 2 heaping bowlfuls of pared potatoes. (Let the potatoes be undersize.) 2 eggs, butter the size of an egg, and a little pepper. Pick the fish very fine and measure lightly into the bowl. Put the potatoes in the boiler, the fish on top of them, cover with boiling water and boil half an hour. Draw off all the water, mash the fish and potatoes together until fine and light, then add butter, pepper and eggs well beaten. Have a deep pan of boiling fat, dip a tablespoon in it and take up a spoonful of the mixture. Drop into the boiling fat and fry until brown (about ten minutes). The spoon should be dipped in the hot fat every time you take a spoonful of the mixture.
