- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the onion and leek for 15–20 minutes until soft. Add the potatoes and fry for a minute, then pour in the stock and bring to a gentle boil. Cook until the potatoes are soft (about 15 minutes), then mash about a third of the potatoes in the saucepan with a masher. Stir in the cream and season the dried cod pieces with salt and white pepper. Bring back to the boil for 2–3 minutes to heat through. Then stir in the chives and parsley and serve in warmed bowls. SOMETHING EXTRA Instead of cod, you can use smoked trout. Unlike cod, you don't need to soak it, just remove the skin and bones. Recipe and photos taken from Olive Magazine.
