Fish Balls

Ingredients

• 1 pint of cold salt fish, and chopped very fine
• 8 good-sized, freshly-boiled potatoes, or enough to make a quart when mashed
• 1/2 teaspoonful of salt
• 1 heaping tablespoonful of butter
• 1 teaspoonful of made mustard, if liked

Instructions

Mash potatoes with salt, and butter, and, if liked, made mustard. Mix in the chopped fish, blending both thoroughly. Make into small, round cakes; flour on each side; and fry brown in a little drippings or fat of fried pork. A nicer way is to make into round balls, allowing a large tablespoonful to each. Roll in flour; or they can be egged and crumbed like croquettes. Drop into boiling lard; drain on brown paper, and serve hot. Fresh fish can be used in the same way, and is very nice. Breadcrumbs, softened in milk, can be used instead of potato, but are not so good.
