Preparation
- Slice the onions into rings.
- In a pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and place over low heat.
- Add the sliced onions and finely chopped garlic, cooking gently for about 5 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Add the shredded cod to the onion mixture and cook over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes until the cod is fully cooked.
- Then, add the straw potato chips, stirring well to incorporate.
- Turn off the heat, allowing the chips to soften.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once melted, add the flour, stirring constantly until it forms a paste.
- Gradually pour in the warmed milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
- Continue whisking until you achieve a smooth and velvety sauce.
- Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
- If any lumps form, use an immersion blender to smooth them out.
- Turn the heat back on for the cod mixture, stir to warm it evenly, and then turn off the heat again.
- Stir most of the béchamel sauce into the cod mixture, reserving a bit to cover the top later.
- Pour the cod mixture into an ovenproof dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover with the remaining béchamel sauce and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
- Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
- Serve immediately, garnished as desired.
