Add the fried potatoes to this mix, also add half of the cream, some grated cheese (to taste) and mix everything well.
Add the mix to a pirex dish greased with butter, pour the rest of the cream over the top, stir with a fork and sprinkle grated cheese (to taste) on top.
Bake for about 20 minutes at 180°C or 350°F.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a salad.

Hi Eddy, I have been living in the US for a while (long time follower!) and I was wondering where you purchase the cod from? Is this recipe using salted cod? (If using fresh fillets, what have you done to try to reproduce the salty taste?) Thank you so much!!

Hi Ana, I don't live in the US, but I do know you can get it from a couple of places online like "Portugaliamarketplace.com" and "Shopportuguese.com". If you however want to use fresh cod you can as well.
