Ingredients

Steps

Fry the potato matchsticks in batches until golden and crisp, then drain on paper towels.
In a large skillet, cook the onion in a few tablespoons of oil until soft, then add the garlic for 1 minute.
Add the shredded cod and cook for 3-4 minutes to warm through.
Fold in the fried potatoes, then pour in the beaten eggs and gently stir over low heat until just softly set, like scrambled eggs.
Season with pepper (the cod is already salty), scatter with parsley and olives, and serve right away.

Food safety Cook the eggs until softly set, not raw.
