By: John J. Pacheco 
"An excellent cod fish dish. You must soak the salted cod over night and change the water at least twice. This is an easy fish meal with my moms original ingredients."

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds salted cod fish
  • 5 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 3 large onions, sliced
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
