CODFISH BALLS
Put fish in cold water, set on back of stove; when water gets hot, pour off and put cold again until fish is sufficiently fresh; then pick it up. Boil potatoes and mash them, mix fish and potatoes together, while potatoes are hot, taking two-thirds potatoes and one-third fish. Put in plenty of butter; make into balls and fry in plenty of lard. Have lard hot before putting in balls. Variation may be had by rolling each ball in beaten egg, then in dry bread crumbs before frying.
