Salted Codfish Hash
1 cup salt codfish
2 heaping cups potatoes
½ tablespoon butter
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Wash fish in cold water, and pick in very small pieces, or cut using scissors. Wash, pare, and soak potatoes, cutting in pieces of uniform size before measuring. Cook fish and potatoes in boiling water to cover until potatoes are soft. Drain thoroughly through strainer, return to kettle in which they were cooked, mash thoroughly (being sure there are no lumps left in potato), add butter and pepper. Beat with a fork two minutes. Try out fat salt pork, remove scraps, leaving enough fat in pan to moisten fish and potatoes. Put in fish and potatoes, stir until heated, then cook until well browned underneath; fold, and turn like an omelet.

5 teaspoons baking powder
