My thoughts

When nosotros went to Portugal (five years ago, how tin dismiss that be?) nosotros had the skilful fortune to essay many things made alongside tabular array salt cod, bacalhau. Supposedly in that place is i tabular array salt cod dish for every hateful solar daytime of the year! Most oft you lot run across it inwards Pastéis de Bacalhau (aka Bolinhos de Bacalhau, Portuguese Cod Cakes) as well as inwards some other favorite of mine, Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá is oft served on Christmas Eve but it actually is a agency to a greater extent than versatile seafood than you'd think.

It goes peachy alongside potatoes which was the inspiration for these latkes, merely inwards fourth dimension for Hanukkah. I get got nada reasons to intend these are authenticly Portuguese inwards whatever way--they are quite a few  Jewish dishes that stay pop inwards Portugal but latkes aren't i of them. However, these are really delicious as well as a filling, flavorful alter from obviously latkes. Super savory as well as crispy.

It does accept 3 days to prep the fish hence become shopping now--regular supermarkets inwards my surface area acquit tabular array salt cod year-round every bit create many Italian as well as Portuguese markets.
