Brandade duchesse - Croquetas de Bacalao


This is another recipe that takes advantage of the convenience of instant mashed potato to make something quick and delicious. It’s a bit of a fusion between a frensh brandade and a spanish croquette. You can substitute for potatoes, around 600 gr.


Put slowly to the boil and keep hot for 30 mins:

200 gr dried cod (bacalao) skinned and boned cut in chinks and rehydrated

400 ml coconut milk or cream


Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with immersion blender:

90 gr instant potato mash powder

3 small spring onions

ca 0.5 dl lemon juice

2 eggs

A generous splash of olive oil

5 cloves of garlic



Pipe unto a pan and bake in the oven at 200C until nicely browned


This is always a hit, even with people that doesn’t necessarily love sea food normally.
