Main Ingredients

For Cooking

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Soak the Cod

    Rinse the salted cod in cold water to remove excess salt. Then, soak it in a bowl of fresh water for 24-48 hours, changing the water several times.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thin matchstick fries. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

  3. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Parsley

    Chop the fresh parsley finely.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  2. 6

    Cook the Cod

    In the same skillet, add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent. Add the soaked and shredded cod, stirring to combine, and cook for another 5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Lower the heat and add the fried potatoes to the skillet with the cod mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 8

    Add Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Pour the eggs over the cod and potato mixture, stirring gently until the eggs are cooked through and the mixture is creamy, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley and top with black olives. Serve immediately.
