In a large pot, boil the sliced potatoes until just tender, about 10 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and set aside.

In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.

In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Layer the potatoes in a baking dish, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Place the soaked bacalhau on top of the potatoes, adding bay leaves and lemon slices.

Drizzle with olive oil and white wine, then top with crispy bacon and parsley.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
