Ingredients
1 cup
salt cod
3
large potatoes
1/2 cup
capers
1/4 cup
small gherkins, diced
1/2 cup
finely chopped shallots
1 tbsp
Dijon mustard
1/2 cup
roughly chopped dill, parsely, and tarragon
1
whole lemon, zested and juiced
2 tbsp
extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp
ground white pepper
Instructions
- Place the salt cod in a container and run under cold water for 30 minutes. This will remove a lot of the salt and reconstitute the cod.
- Next add the cod into a kitchen aid mixer and whip with the paddle until nice a flaky.
- Boil the potatoes whole, skin on until they are cooked through. Strain the potatoes and while they are hot peel and drop into the mixer with the flaky cod.
- Now add the capers, shallots, gherkins, mustard, herbs, lemon juice/zest, extra virgin olive oil and white pepper. Mix with the paddle until everything is even through and the potatoes are fluffy.
- Check for seasoning, usually you do not need to add salt because of the cod but you should always check before serving.
