Salt Cod Fish Cakes

fish, potatoes

1 pound salt cod or fresh haddock
3 potatoes; 2 pounds
1/4 cup butter
1 small onion; chopped
2 eggs; lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon pepper

In large bowl, soak salt cod in cold water in refrigerator for 24 hours, changing water once; drain well. Place in large saucepan. Cover with water and bring to boil; boil for 15 minutes or just until fish flakes when tested. Drain and return to pan; let cool and mash with potato masher. Transfer to large bowl. Meanwhile, peel potatoes; cut into chunks. In separate saucepan of boiling salted water, cook potatoes for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to pot; let cool and mash with potato masher. Add to salt cod. In skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add to salt cod mixture. Add eggs and I pepper; mix well. Using scant 1/2 cup for each, form into twelve 1/2-inch thick patties. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.) In skillet, heat half of the remaining butter over medium-high heat; cook fish cakes, in 2 batches, until slightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
