Fish-balls.
1 cup of raw salt fish; 1 pint of potatoes; 1 teaspoonful butter; 1 egg well beaten; a little pepper. Wash and pick the fish in small pieces free from bones. Pare the potatoes and cut in small pieces. Put both together in a stew-pan and cover with boiling water, and boil until the potatoes are soft. Drain off the water, mash and beat till very light. When a little cool, add the egg and fry in very hot lard.
