1 lb cod fillet
1 lb potatoes or instant mashed equivalent
salt
olive oil
butter

Prepare mashed potatoes as usual (no lumps) in a shallow pan. Bring two inches of water to a boil adding a half teaspoon of salt. Place the fillet in the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. The cod is done when the flesh parts easily with a fork.

Lift it from the pan with a spatula or perforated spoon into a bowl large enough for mixing the potatoes and fish.

Blend these by tumbling the mixture. Add salt to taste.

Form hamburger-sized patties or cakes. Pour four tablespoons of olive oil into a medium size frying pan and place cod cakes in when the pan is hot.

Allow each side to become brown before turning over. Turn over only once.

Serve with butter and your favorite vegetable.

Serves two.

These can be frozen before the frying step and should keep for several days.
