Pasteles de bacalao en freidora de aire: la receta de mi madre de 73 años
My mother is 73. She doesn’t write recipes down. So today, I’m filming everything.
Watch as my Portuguese mum makes Pastéis de Bacalhau (traditional Portuguese cod fritters) the old-school way — but in an AIR FRYER.
She came to Australia with her mother, bringing little more than courage, memories, and recipes like this one. While Dad tends his garden, Mum and I are in the kitchen preserving a tradition that’s crossed oceans and generations — and adapting it for modern kitchens.
My kids are 6 and 10. Right now, they’d rather have toasties. But one day, they’ll have kids of their own — and maybe one of them will show up at my door with a camera, asking me to show them how Vovó made these.
This is more than a recipe. It’s a time capsule. A love letter. A way of keeping our heritage alive.
🎥 RECIPE: AIR FRYER PASTÉIS DE BACALHAU (Portuguese Cod Fritters)
INGREDIENTS:
– 500g salt cod (soaked overnight, changing water 2-3 times)
– 500g potatoes
– 2 eggs
– Fresh parsley (bunch, from Dad’s garden)
– Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Soak salt cod for 24 hours, changing water regularly
2. Boil cod for 15 minutes until it flakes easily
3. Boil potatoes until soft, then mash (can boil and potatoes and cod fish together)
4. Flake the cod, removing skin and bones
5. Mix cod, potato, eggs, parsley, salt & pepper
6. Shape into ovals using two spoons
7. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden
8. Serve hot
✨ WHY AIR FRYER?
Traditional pastéis are deep-fried, but we’ve adapted Mum’s recipe for the air fryer — healthier, less mess, same golden crispy result. Perfect for modern kitchens while keeping the traditional flavors alive.

If you have someone in your life whose recipes live in their hands, not on paper — film them. Before it’s too late.
