codfish cakes and bacon
A favorite New England Sunday breakfast! From an old New England Cookbook Living in Massachusetts where Codfish is "King", I have come to love this for breakfast, lunch or supper. Only make them with real hot mashed potatoes and salt codfish. Serve with a little chili sauce or fresh lemon!
