Ingredients
- 800 gr cod, fresh
- 3 big onions
- 1 garlic clove
- 12 eggs
- 750 gr matchstick potato chips
- parsley

Instructions
- Chop the onions and garlic to small pieces and mince the cod.
- In a deep pan, sweat the onions and garlic until golden, then add the pieces of cod, and cook for a few minutes, until it soaks up the oil.
- Then add the potatoes and stir whilst adding the beaten eggs with salt and pepper to taste. (Remember: the chips and the cod are already salty enough!)
