Step 1

Cover salt cod in cold water. Soak salt cod for 24 hours, changing the water several times.

Step 2

Drain salt cod pushing down on it to remove excess water. Flake the fish with a fork.
In a medium saucepan, boil potatoes with thyme and garlic until tender. Peel and mash with a ricer. Mix potatoes with salt cod and shallots, mashing finely with a fork. Lightly whisk eggs and stir into fish mixture. Stir in flour, chives, salt and pepper and mix lightly.

Step 3

In a deep fryer or a deep pan, heat at least 1-inch of oil to 340 degrees F.
Drop fritters, using a spoon, into the hot oil and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. Serve with lemon and caper mayonnaise and a green salad.

Whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice and capers together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
