Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 190C (170C fan, gas 5). Drain the soaked salt cod, pat dry, poach for 8 minutes until it flakes easily, then drain and flake, discarding any skin and bone.

  2. 2

    Cook the potato slices in salted boiling water for 6-7 minutes until just tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil in a pan and soften the onion and garlic for 8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Layer the potatoes, salt cod and onion in a baking dish, finishing with a layer of potato, then pour the cream evenly over the top.

  5. 5

    Scatter with the gruyère and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and golden on top.
