    Its yummy, its addictive and truly amazing! If you can get your hands on some salted cod, please, please try this. And if you can't, try it anyway with fresh cod, just add more salt. I know I will! Getting cravings already lol!

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound dried salt cod
    • 7 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    • 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into matchstick-size strips (about 6 cups)
    • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
    • 8 large eggs
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
    • some green or black olives

    Directions

    1. Rinse the fish and place it in a bowl. Add enough cold water to cover. Chill overnight, changing the water several times.
    2. The next day, drain the fish and transfer to a large saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer until the fish flakes easily, about 15 minutes.Drain and cool. Flake the fish, discarding any bones.
    3. Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy, large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in batches and sauté until crisp and golden, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer the potatoes to paper towels to drain.
    4. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the same skillet. Add the onion and and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the onion slices in the skillet.
    5. Mix in the fishand potatoes.
    6. Whisk the eggs, the 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl to blend.
    7. Add the egg mixture the skillet.
    8. Cook over medium heat until the eggs are softly set, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Transfer onto a platter.
    9. Garnish with the olives and the parsley.And serve with some salad
