Ingredients:  
* 2 pounds salted cod
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* Salt to taste
* Pepper to taste
* 1 bay leaf
* 8 slices lemon, rind removed
* 1 pound potatoes
* 4 finely chopped cloves garlic
* 1 large finely chopped onion
* 1/2 cup chopped parsley
Directions:
Directions:
1. Soak salt cod in lukewarm water for two days, changing the water twice a day. After soaking, do not remove the skin and bones. Place cod in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and cover with water. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, salt, pepper, bay leaf and lemon slices. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook over medium-low heat for 1 hour or until tender. Take the cod out of the water and remove the skin and bones, and discard, but reserve the water. Break the cod into pieces.

2 In a separate saucepan, cook the potatoes with the skin on. When tender, but not mushy, remove potatoes and peel as soon as cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch slices or quarters and set aside.

3. Put remaining oil, garlic, onion (if using) and pepper to taste in a large skillet. Saute garlic until soft and then add the fish, potatoes, and as much reserved cooking water as necessary to achieve a consistency that is not too dry. Cook over low heat until heated throughout and flavors have married, about 15 minutes. Add more oil, if necessary. Garnish with parsley.
