Bacalhau com Natas (Cod with Cream)

I love cod fish and it's one of the things that I truly miss about being at home...it's really hard for me to find good Cod Fish here in Idaho, and if I want the typical salt dried cod then I have to get it online which is very expensive OR I have my family send it through the mail :)

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare cod fish.

Cod with Cream Sauce
(Bacalhau de natas)

Ingredients:

Cod (about 2 or 3 pieces)

3 medium potatoes or 4 small ones, diced

1 package heavy cream (about 1 1/2 pints)

2 cups milk

margarine or butter

2 tbsp flour

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

salt and pepper to taste

Cook the cod, if using salt code then remember to soak it for 24 hours previously to making this dish.

Fry the potatoes, just until tender then add the margarina or butter and flour and cook stirring constantly. Add the milk, heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste.

Fry the onion in a little bit of olive oil, just until transparent.

In an oven proof dish place the slightly fried onion, the cod and then the fried potatoes, topping with shredded cheese. Place in the oven until golden brown.

About 375º F for about 20 minutes or so.
