Pasteis de Bacalhau

== Description ==
Portuguese cod cakes 
* This recipe taken from www.Portuguese-recipes.com
== Ingredients ==
* 1 lb of salt cod
* 4 large potatoes peeled and cut in quarters
* 3 eggs
* ⅓ cup of parsley finely chopped
* 1 tbsp of onion finely chopped
* ½ tsp black pepper
== Directions ==
# Soak cod overnight.
# The next day pour off old water and add new enough to cover the fish.
# Bring to a boil. This reduces the amount of salt in the fish.
# Taste a small sample of the fish, if it is still too salty change the water and boil again.
# Meanwhile cook the potatoes until tender.
# Mash the cod and the potatoes together.
# Add the eggs, parsley, onion, and pepper mix this well.
# Shape into balls and flatten out to the shape of a patty.
# Fry them in oil until golden brown all over.
# Drain on paper towels.
== Notes ==
If the mix is to moist use a little flour to dry the mixture but not to much as you want them a little moist. If the mix is to dry use another egg to add moisture.
