Cod Fish Cakes

1 pound salt cod fish
6 potatoes
1 onion chopped
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon pepper


Preparation:
Soak codfish over night. In morning pour off water and add fresh, put on
heat and bring to boil, pour off water and put fresh on if need be,
(test fish for saltiness). If o.k. mix with the boiled mashed potatoes
and egg. and onion. Make into cakes and dip in flour. Fry in oil in a
frying pan, when golden brown on bottom side turn and fry other side.

Don't feel limited to cod fish, use what you have on hand. I have used
canned tuna fish and skipped boiling it.

Sounds good and simple, but you don't say what to soak the fish in. Could I use a can of mackerel?
