Prepare the Cod
Soak the salt cod in water for 24-48 hours, changing the water several times. After soaking, drain and rinse the cod.
Cook the Potatoes
Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and translucent.
Add Cod and Bay Leaves
Add the soaked cod to the skillet along with the bay leaves. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring gently to combine.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley and black olives. Serve warm.
