INSTRUCTIONS
FOR POTATO CAKES: Cook potatoes in jackets in salt water until done. Peel while hot. Mash potatoes until smooth. Add egg yolks and butter; mix. Render bacon (cook over low heat so the fat separates out). Add leeks and scallions and toss quickly; add to potato mixture and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Let mixture cool, then form into patties. Chill overnight. When ready to serve, saute potato cakes until golden brown. FOR VINEGAR REDUCTION: Combine vinegars and stock, and reduce by half (boil rapidly until the volume is reduced, by evaporation, to half the original amount). Add rosemary and let infuse (steep) for about 10 minutes. Strain and reserve. COD: Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat canola oil in a pan on top of the stove. Place fish in pan with skin side down and cook until there is a little golden color around the edges. Finish fish in 450-degree oven for approximately 8 minutes. Serve reduction with fish.

No big headlines there.
