Preparation

- Add the onion and sauté until well cooked.
- Add the flaked codfish and mix well.
- Next, sprinkle with the flour and stir again.
- Gradually add the reserved cooking water and milk, stirring continuously over moderate heat until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency and turn off the heat and set aside.
- Heat a frying pan with oil until very hot and fry the potatoes (previously washed and drained).
- Drain the excess oil on absorbent paper and add them to the pot with the codfish as they are fried.
- Season with salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and a few drops of lemon juice.
- Mix everything and wait for the next batch of fried potatoes to repeat the process and season and mix again.
- After all the potatoes are fried and well mixed into the codfish, add the heavy cream and mix everything very well.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs or cheese, and bake until golden brown.
