Put the potatoes into boiling water and cook until soft enough to mash, keeping the skin on to absorb less water.

After boiling, remove the skin from the potatoes.

Heat olive oil in a skillet and add chopped onion, cooking until translucent.

Add minced garlic to the skillet with the onion.

Add codfish to the skillet and cook until it falls apart, stirring frequently to dry it out.

Remove the codfish from heat and let it cool.

Mash the boiled potatoes using a potato masher.

Combine the mashed potatoes with the cooked codfish, adding chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt to taste.

Add egg yolk to the mixture to help bind it together, mixing well by hand.

Form the mixture into fritters using two spoons or by hand.

Heat oil in a pan for frying, testing the temperature with a small piece of dough to ensure it sizzles.

Fry the fritters in batches, adding three at a time to maintain oil temperature.

Fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.
