    Preparation Steps

    1

    Soak the salted cod in cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water frequently to remove excess salt.

    2

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, then drain and set aside.

    3

    Boil the cod in hot water for 10-15 minutes, then drain and flake it with a fork.

    4

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onions and garlic until softened. Add the flaked cod and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

    5

    In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the flour, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a smooth, light roux forms. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture thickens into a béchamel sauce. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.

    6

    In a baking dish, layer the potatoes, the cod mixture, and the béchamel sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.

    7

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve hot with a fresh salad.
