Method
Preparation of Bacalhau
- 1
Soak the Cod
Place the salted cod in a large bowl and cover it with cold water. Soak for 24-48 hours, changing the water at least 3 times to remove excess salt.

Prepare the Cod
After soaking, drain the cod. Place it in a pot, cover with fresh water, and add bay leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the cod is cooked through. Remove the cod, let it cool, and flake it into large pieces.

Add Potatoes and Cod
Peel and slice the boiled potatoes into rounds. Add them to the skillet along with the flaked cod. If using, also add sliced red bell pepper at this stage. Gently toss everything together to combine.
