Components
- 250 g of shredded cod, desalinated and frozen
- 2 Asterix potatoes
- One egg
- One garlic clove
- Half an onion
- Two sprigs of parsley
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Add ground pepper gradually to suit your taste.
- oil to coat the dumplings before spraying
Ready state
- Clean, peel, and divide the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a medium-sized pot, fill with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender—test with a fork to ensure they are cooked but not falling apart.
- In the meantime, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Rinse, dry, and chop the parsley.
- Using a slotted spoon, move the cooked potato pieces to a sieve (or colander) — be careful not to discard the water, as it will be used to defrost the cod. Shake the potatoes thoroughly to remove excess water — this step is crucial to avoid adding extra moisture to the dumpling mixture.
- Place the warm potato in a bowl and mash it with a vegetable masher until you achieve a very smooth puree (or use a potato ricer if you prefer).
- Place the cod in the same boiling water and cook over high heat for approximately 5 minutes until it thaws. Drain the cod using a sieve and allow it to cool before handling.
- Using your hands, tear the cod into small pieces and combine it with the potatoes—the finer, the better. Add olive oil, onion, garlic, and parsley; season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Finally, add the egg and mix well.
- To shape the dumplings: use a tablespoon to scoop out a portion of the dough, then mold it with another spoon into a quenelle shape — the dough for this dumpling is even softer, which is the key to making it very tender and crispy. Place them on a baking sheet (or dish) and continue the same process with the remaining dough.
- Set the Electrolux Air Fryer by Rita Lobo to preheat at 200°C and bake for 14 minutes.
- Spray olive oil onto the dumplings and inside the Air Fryer basket (alternatively, you can use a brush to apply the olive oil). Arrange the dumplings side by side in the basket and cook until they turn golden—there’s no need to flip them halfway through. Serve immediately afterward.
Punto de congelación
Arrange the uncooked molded cupcakes side by side in a baking pan and freeze them for at least 4 hours. Once solid, move them to an airtight sealed bag.
To thaw, put the dumplings straight from the freezer into the Air Fryer basket preheated to 180°C and cook for 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

If you can’t find Asterix potatoes, you can use other varieties. If the dumpling dough becomes slightly too soft, simply let it cool in the refrigerator to make it easier to shape.
