Step 1

Cut up the bacalhau codfish, rinse it under water to take out the excess salt. Soak the fish in very cold or icy water, skin side up. Change waters three times a day. The next day it can be soaked in milk if desired or again in cold water. The milk makes the fish softer.

Step 2

Peel and slice the potatoes into cubes and boil them. (some people fry the potatoes, I prefer to boil them)

Step 3

Make the white sauce by melting the butter, adding the flour and stirring well and then whisking the milk until it´s all creamy. Add half the grated cheese, mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Fry the sliced onions and garlic in olive oil until soft and golden. Remove from the heat, and add the codfish, potatoes and the white sauce to the onions and mix well. Pour the mixture into a ovenproof dish and pour the fresh cream over it.

Step 5

Sprinkle remaining cheese over the mixture, or if you prefer you can use bread crumbs instead. Bake at 200ºC for about 20 minutes until bubbly and brown. Serve with a green salad.
