Prepare a pan with water and bring it to a boil.

Boil the potatoes for 5-10 minutes depending on their size to ensure they don't need extra time in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 200°C with the grill function on top and convection fan activated.

Slice the potatoes as thin as possible, or in half if preferred.

Cover the bottom of the oven tray with a generous amount of olive oil.

Add sliced onions to create a bed on the bottom of the tray.

Place dried bay leaves in the tray for added flavor.

Add the soaked codfish to the tray without adding salt, as the cod is already seasoned from soaking.

Once the potatoes are boiled, drain them and place them in the tray with the codfish.

Drizzle more olive oil over the codfish and potatoes.

Sprinkle dried oregano and coarse salt over the potatoes and codfish.

Place the tray in the preheated oven and set the timer for 30 minutes, checking occasionally for doneness.

Gently crush the potatoes after cooking to create 'smashed potatoes' without peeling them.

Prepare infused olive oil by heating olive oil with sliced garlic in a pan, but do not fry them.

Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and black olives before serving.
