Ingredients

Salted cod

1 lb, soaked overnight

Potatoes

4 medium, diced

Onion

1 large, chopped

Butter

3 tablespoons

Milk

1 cup

Fresh parsley

2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Black pepper

to taste

Water

for boiling

Instructions

1. Soak the salted cod in cold water overnight to remove excess salt, changing the water a few times to ensure thorough desalination.
2. In a large pot, bring fresh water to a boil. Carefully add the soaked cod and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the fish is tender and flakes easily.
3. Once cooked, remove the fish from the pot and let it cool slightly. Flake the fish into small pieces, making sure to remove any bones or skin.
4. In a separate pot, add the diced potatoes to boiling salted water. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
5. In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
6. Gently add the flaked fish and cooked potatoes to the frying pan. Stir carefully to combine, ensuring not to break the potatoes too much.
7. Pour in the milk and cook for an additional few minutes until everything is heated through and creamy.
8. Season to taste with black pepper and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
9. Serve hot, ideally with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious flavors.
