Method
- If using salt cod, soak it for 24 hours, changing the water several times, then flake.

- Fry the onion and garlic slowly until soft, then add the fish for 3 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and eggs and stir gently until just set. Top with olives and parsley.

- Fresh or frozen hake makes this far cheaper; skip the soaking step.
- Store-bought potato sticks save time.
