[edit] Directions
- Soak salt Cod overnight and during the morning, changing water three times.
- Drain, remove skin and any bones and cut in small chunks.
- Simmer a small Onion, thinly sliced, with a bay leaf and 4 peppercorns in 2 cups of water.
- After 5 minutes, add the Cod and 2 cups of water.
- When it simmers, cover the pan and remove from heat, so the Cod doesn't toughen.

- Drain the fish and flake it well into a bowl.
- Add 2 cups of mashed potatoes; beat two eggs with a pinch of salt and add them to the fish and potatoes.
- Add the parsley , salt and freshly grated pepper to taste.
