Portuguese Scramble with Potato Straws and Salted Cod

Ingredients

Cod fillet - 8.8 oz
Potato - 2 lbs
Cotton Oil - 7 fl oz
Onion - 1 head
Chicken Egg - 8 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

If serving the cod raw, as is customary in Portuguese cuisine, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the fish of skin and bones, and then tear the flesh into small pieces. Otherwise, place the fish in a pot, cover with water so that the fish is completely submerged, and bring to a boil. Then remove, discard the skin and bones, and break into small pieces.

Step 2

Cut the potato into strips and fry in oil. Drain the excess oil and set the potato aside.

Step 3

Pour 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a skillet and heat. Add the onion and sauté over low heat, stirring regularly, for about 10 minutes or until a golden crust forms.

Step 4

Now increase the heat, add the potato and fish, crack the eggs into the skillet, and fry everything together, continuing to stir, until the eggs are cooked. Serve.
