- 2 cups cooked potatoes, mashed
- 1 pound skinless and boneless codfish
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 to 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- If you don’t have cooked potatoes on hand, cut up two large potatoes, unpeeled, and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until soft. Mash and reserve.
- Place the fish in a steamer and top with the diced onion and seasonings. Cover and steam for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the onion is cooked.
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the cooked fish and seasoned onions with the mashed potatoes. Mix in the egg and cream and form into 4 patties.
- Sauté the fishcakes in butter until browned.
