Soak the salt cod in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water several times.
Boil the potatoes, cook the cod separately for 10 minutes, and drain.
Flake the cod, mash the potatoes, and mix both in the same bowl.
Chop the onion very finely, then add it to the potato fish mixture with the eggs, parsley, black pepper, and flour.
Shape spoonfuls of the mixture into oval croquettes.
Fry the croquettes in 175°C oil for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden.
Mix the yogurt and crushed garlic, then serve the bolinhos with lemon and the sauce.
💡 Tip: Taste the cod after boiling; if it is still too salty, soak the fish a little longer instead of increasing the potato.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve bolinhos de bacalhau hot as a snack with lemon wedges, arugula, and optional garlic yogurt.
