10 1/2 ounces cod filets cleaned and ready to use
10 1/2 ounces potatoes cooked and mashed
1 small finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
4 eggs
salt and pepper
flour
egg white
bread crumbs
oil to fry

Lightly boil the codfish, crumble and set aside. Add the mashed potatoes, and the chopped onion, chopped cilantro, the salt and pepper and eggs to hold the mixture together. Add the eggs one at a time until the mixture holds a ball, but it should take about 4. Season with salt and pepper.

Let the mixture cool until it can be handled. When cool, form the small croquettes into a ball. Roll in flour, beaten egg white and bread crumbs and fry in oil that is not too hot. Serve immediately.
