🇵🇹 Portugal recipe
Pastéis de Bacalhau
Golden, crispy salt cod fritters found in every Portuguese tasca, cafe, and home kitchen. These oval-shaped croquettes have a shatteringly crisp exterior that gives way to a fluffy, creamy interior of salt cod, mashed potato, onion, and parsley bound with egg. They are Portugal's most popular petisco, served as a snack with a cold beer or as a starter at family gatherings.
