Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Soak the salted codfish in cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water every 6-8 hours to remove excess salt.
Step 2: In a large pot, boil the soaked codfish for 15-20 minutes until it flakes easily. Remove from the pot and let it cool.
Step 3: Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a separate pot until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly before peeling and cutting into slices.
Step 4: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until they are fragrant and translucent.
Step 5: Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and cook for a few minutes, stirring gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Step 6: Flake the cooked codfish into large pieces and add it to the skillet. Gently mix everything together, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
