Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the fish in a saucepan and cover it with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for five to seven minutes. Then, drain the water, return the fish to the saucepan, and repeat the process.

Step 2

Then, place the fish in a bowl and flake it with a fork.

Step 3

Boil the potatoes in their skins, let them cool, and then refrigerate for an hour. Peel the potatoes, chop them finely, and add them to the fish.

Step 4

Add the chopped thyme leaves, beaten egg, finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Knead the minced meat and shape it by hand into small, even meatballs.

Step 6

Heat 50 ml of oil in a cast-iron skillet and fry half of the meatballs for 6–8 minutes, then transfer them to a plate. Next, add the remaining oil and fry the rest of the meatballs. Serve with a drizzle of lemon juice or garnished with lemon slices. Accompany with a green salad or fresh or lightly salted cucumbers.
