Begin by peeling and boiling the potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, mash, and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion, garlic, and parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, flake the cod fillets with a fork ensuring there are no bones, then mix in the cooled mashed potatoes.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and parsley to the cod and potato mixture.
Stir in the flour, eggs, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper, mixing until all ingredients are well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Using two spoons, shape the cod mixture into small round fritters, then carefully place them in the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and a wedge of lemon, if desired.
