Preheat the oven to 60 degrees Celsius for sous-vide style cooking.

Wash the lutefisk and salt it with sea salt, letting it sit for 30 minutes.

Boil the potatoes until tender.

Brown the bacon in a pan.

After 30 minutes, place the lutefisk in the oven at 60 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 180 degrees Celsius and cook the lutefisk for an additional 10 minutes.

Mash the cooked potatoes with butter, whole milk, and cream, leaving some pieces of peas intact.
