Balchi di Pisca — Aruban Salt Cod Balls

Deep-fried Aruban salt cod fritters made with soaked salt cod, mashed potato, tomato, pepper, and onion. The cod needs 24 hours soaking to remove the salt before you can cook with it — plan ahead. Makes about 20 balls. Serve hot as a starter or snack with hot sauce.
