Soak the salted cod in water for 24-48 hours, changing the water several times.

Peel and cut the potatoes into thick slices.

Slice the onions and garlic thinly.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook until they begin to soften, about 10 minutes.

Add the soaked cod to the skillet, layering it over the potatoes.

Pour in the white wine and enough water to cover the ingredients.

Add bay leaves and black pepper, then cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs, then peel and slice them.

Once the cod is cooked through and flakes easily, remove from heat.

Garnish with sliced hard-boiled eggs, black olives, and chopped parsley.

Drizzle with additional olive oil before serving.

Serve warm with vinegar on the side.
