Dice 3 Idaho potatoes and optionally peel them.

Place the diced potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and season with salt.

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then cover to simmer for about 10-15 minutes until tender.

Prepare a separate pot with water and a splash of apple cider vinegar.

Once the water is boiling, add the 4 tempered eggs to the pot and set a timer for 10 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the salt cod to the same pot with the eggs and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes until the cod is flaky.

Prepare an ice bath for the eggs after 10 minutes of cooking to cool them down quickly.

Remove the cod and eggs from their respective pots; drain well.

Peel the eggs and set them aside.

In a large skillet, heat about 1 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced onions and garlic to the skillet, cooking until they start to get color, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the onions are softened and slightly fried, season with salt and black pepper.

Drain the cooked potatoes and add them to the skillet with the onions and garlic.

Smash the potatoes with a whisk or potato masher, adding 1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup of milk to achieve a creamy consistency.

Break up the cooked salt cod into pieces and mix it into the smashed potatoes until well combined.
