Slice the potatoes very finely into small sticks for shoestring potatoes.

Wash the potatoes until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, then dry them with a kitchen cloth.

Heat oil to 170 degrees Celsius and fry the potatoes until crispy, seasoning with salt.

Slice onions very finely using a mandolin.

Slice about 4 or 5 cloves of garlic.

Boil salted cod in water with garlic, parsley, and bay leaves, turning off the heat and letting it sit for 10 minutes.

Remove the cod and let it cool for about 15 minutes.

In a pan, heat olive oil and add the sliced onions, cooking until caramelized, then add garlic and cook for another 5 minutes.

Whisk about 5 or 6 eggs in a bowl.

Flake the cooled cod into small pieces, removing bones and skin.

Add the eggs to the onion mixture and mix well, aiming for a creamy texture without scrambling the eggs.

Add the flaked cod to the mixture and combine everything.

Fold in the fried shoestring potatoes and mix well.

Garnish with chopped parsley and black olives before serving.
