1. Rinse cod under cold water thoroughly
2. In a pot, combine milk, cod, and enough water to cover the cod. Bring to a boil. Boil for 20 minutes. Then refrigerate cod and milk mixture over night (the milk helps to leech out the salt from the cod)
3. The following day, drain cod and break apart using your fingers or two forks until you have small chunks. Set aside.
4. Saute garlic and onions in a little olive oil until translucent. Set aside.
5. Peel and boil potatoes until tender.
6. Pass potatoes through a food mill (if you don’t have a food mill mash potatoes until broken up)
7. Mix together potatoes, cod, egg yolks, garlic, shallots, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, chives, salt, and pepper (use salt sparingly as the saltiness from the cod might overpower the croquettes)
8. Refrigerate for an hour
9. Scoop about 1.5 oz of mixture per croquette, rolling to make them round
10. Prepare your breading station. One bowl of flour, one bowl of beaten eggs, one bowl of panko.
11. Bread croquettes by first rolling in flour, then eggs, then panko. Set aside.
12. Refrigerate until cold. Fry at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes or until warmed through.

Aioli

1. Bring water to a boil. Add saffron, allow to steep for 10 minutes.
2. Mix saffron water, aioli, garlic, and salt to taste.
