Ingredients
- 500 gr of fresh cod
- 4 medium potatoes
- 4 eggs
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Parsley
Preparation
- First we must cut the straw-style potatoes, for this we can help ourselves with a kitchen mandolin, if we do not have a similar tool, you can get the cut by first making very thin slices and cutting transversely later.
- When we have the potatoes cut, we let them soak for a few minutes so that the starch is lost.
- We put a frying pan with plenty of oil on the fire, when it is hot we fry the potatoes.
- Go frying in batches, do not add many potatoes at the same time or they will not be crisp.
- When they are ready, reserve on absorbent kitchen paper to eliminate the excess oil.
- Now we have to shred the cod, as it is raw it is somewhat difficult to handle.
- First remove the skin and then little by little, separate the meat, being careful not to leave any thorns.
- Prepare a casserole with a low bottom and that is quite large, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- When hot, add the cod and cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat.
- Add the potatoes to the casserole and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, beat the 4 eggs well.
- Add the beaten eggs to the casserole and stir well, cover a few minutes carefully so that the egg is not set.
- Add parsley to taste and voila!
Notes
This dish does not need to add salt, the cod is already tasty in itself, although if you wish, you can add a light touch of salt when beating the eggs.
