BACALAO (Dry Cod Fish)
Prep Time: 5 minutes

TIPS: Dry Cod Fish tend to be very salty, as they are preserved with salt. Rinse the excess salt and presoak overnight, changing the water several times.
TIP: Another option is to boil it for 20 minutes, rinse & and add water. Repeat a second time or third. Taste it to see if salt level has subsided.
TIP: You can boil the potatoes in a different pot to prevent potatoes from being too salty
