In an ovenproof dish, layer the ingredients: Start with a layer of potatoes, followed by the shredded codfish, sautéed onions and garlic, black olives, and chopped parsley. Repeat until all the ingredients are used, with a final layer of potatoes on top.

Step 6

Whisk the eggs and pour them evenly over the top layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden and the eggs are set.

Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley and black olives if desired. Enjoy your Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá!
