Ingredients
- 2 cod fillets (~250 grams)
- 400ml of milk, either whole or semi-skimmed
- half an onion, sliced
- 1/2 tablespoons of flour
- 500 g of potatoes
- 150 ml fresh cream
- grated cheese (mozzarella works fine)
- ground nutmeg
Directions
- Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to boil.
- Place the cod fillets inside and boil for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice the onions and place in a frying pan with some olive oil. Fry until golden.
- Drain the cod (keep the milk!) and shred on a chopping board.
- Mix with the onions, fry for a couple of minutes, then add the milk you used to boil it with.
- Add the flour to thicken. Keep on low heat for 5-10 minutes until you get the desired consistency.
- Chop the potatoes into cubes roughly the size of a dice. Lightly fry them in some oil or olive oil (not deep frying) for around 5-10 minutes, in low heat.
- Get an oven tray, oil it with some olive oil, then put in the cod and the potatoes, mixing well. Add the ground nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Pour the cream on top and sprinkle with cheese.
- Put it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden and crispy.
- Enjoy!
