Instructions
- 1Heat half the oil in a frying pan, and sauté the onion over a medium heat until soft and pale gold – this will take about 8 mins. Remove from the pan, set aside, and add the potatoes to the pan. Cook until they are tender but not falling apart, carefully turning every so often. Cover the pan some of the time to help the slices cook through. Add the onions back to the pan along with the garlic and cook for another 4 mins. Tip into a bowl with the eggs, parsley and some seasoning and mix together. Leave to sit for half an hour.
- 2Meanwhile, put the cod in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring up to a simmer. Remove from the heat, cover and leave for 10 mins. Drain, leave to cool and remove the skin and any bones. Break into large flakes and add to the potato and egg mixture.

Chef tips
To ensure the cod isn't too salty, soak it in cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water several times. Children will love helping to whisk the eggs and mix them with the potatoes and fish. To upgrade the dish, add a handful of chopped parsley to the egg mixture. If salt cod is hard to find, you can use fresh white fish fillets lightly seared in a pan—it is just as delicious and refined.
