COUSIN HETTY'S FISH BALLS
"Time was," said Cousin Hetty, "when we used to flake out fish, but since brother and old Amos went into the fish business, we generally use the shredded fish."
Recipe for six persons. Open a package of prepared shredded codfish and then turn into a piece of cheese-cloth and plunge four or five times into a large bowl of hot water. Squeeze dry. Cook and then mash sufficient potatoes to measure three cups and then add the prepared fish and
Two tablespoons of grated onion,
Four tablespoons of finely-minced parsley,
One teaspoon of paprika,
One-quarter cup of milk,
Two tablespoons of butter.
Beat hard to mix thoroughly and then mould into small balls; roll in flour; dip in beaten egg and milk and then roll in fine crumbs and fry until golden brown in hot fat.
