Mix the dry ingredients together.

Add the grated onion, garlic, chopped bell peppers, and other green seasonings to the dry mixture.

Add the flaked saltfish to the bowl.

Add 1 and 1/2 cups of mashed potatoes to the mixture.

Gradually add 1 and 1/2 cups of water and mix until you achieve a thick batter consistency.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.
