Ingredients
- 1 lb salted cod
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
- 1Soak the salted cod in cold water overnight or for at least 8 hours, changing the water twice.
- 2Boil the potatoes in their skins until just tender, about 15 minutes, then drain, cool, peel, and dice into 1/2-inch cubes.
- 3In a large cast-iron skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 4Flake the soaked and gently boiled cod into the skillet, add the diced potatoes, remaining olive oil, and black pepper. Cook, pressing down occasionally, until a golden crust forms, about 12 minutes.
- 5Make four wells in the hash, crack an egg into each, cover the skillet, and cook until egg whites are set but yolks remain soft, about 4 minutes. Scatter chopped parsley before serving.
