Soak 900 grams of salted cod in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water once to remove excess salt.

Boil the cod in a pot of water for about 7 to 8 minutes until cooked.

Drain the cod and let it cool in a sifter.

Slice 2 medium onions into thin half-moon shapes and separate the pieces into a bowl.

Peel and slice 6 Yukon Gold potatoes into thin strips.

Chop about 3 tablespoons of parsley and set aside.

Remove the skin from the cooled cod and shred it into small pieces, placing it in a bowl.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer and fry the sliced potatoes for about 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown.

Drain the fried potatoes on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

Beat 5 large eggs with a little salt and black pepper in a bowl.

Heat extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan until hot, then add the sautéed onions and cook until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add 3 mashed garlic cloves to the onions and mix well.

Add the shredded cod to the onion and garlic mixture, stirring to combine and letting it absorb the flavors for a couple of minutes.
