SpanishMedium · Hot
A gentle, homey hash of soft flaked cod and tender potato, crowned with a silky coddled egg. Asunción would approve of the soft textures, mild savory notes, and the way a single egg transforms humble ingredients into something dignified and satisfying.

Method
Peel the potatoes and cut into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch each.
While potatoes cook, dice the yellow-onion finely. Mince the garlic cloves.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
Season with salt and black-pepper. Cover and let the cod steam gently for 5-6 minutes, until it flakes easily. Stir in the cooked potato cubes and fold everything together gently with a wooden spoon.

Allergen Warning
{"classification":"allergen-warning","text":{"text":"Raw eggs are used in this recipe for coddling. Individuals with egg allergies should avoid this dish entirely. Cod is cooked before serving."}}
High Risk Population
Young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and immunocompromised persons should use caution with the coddled egg as it is cooked for only 4 minutes resulting in a runny yolk that may contain Salmonella.
Cross Contamination
Use separate cutting boards and utensils for raw cod and other ingredients. Clean and sanitize all surfaces that contact raw fish before preparing other foods.
Cooking Temperature
Ensure cod reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to confirm doneness. The coddled egg white should be set after 4 minutes in barely simmering water.
Handling
When coddling eggs, lower heat to barely a simmer before sliding eggs into water to prevent eggs from breaking apart. Use a slotted spoon to gently remove eggs and drain on a clean cloth.
Storage
Refrigerate leftover cod and potato hash within 2 hours of cooking. Store in airtight container and consume within 2-3 days. Reheat thoroughly until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Pro Tips
Technique
For the perfect coddled egg with a set white and runny yolk, cook exactly 4 minutes in barely simmering water — any longer and you lose that silky, golden moment when you break the egg and the yolk runs like velvet through the hash.
Substitution
If fresh cod isn't available, flaked smoked haddock or even good-quality canned tuna (drained) works beautifully — the gentle savory flavor still shines through the olive oil and lemon.
From the chef
This dish reminds me of cooking for myself after Tomás left this world — learning that feeding just one person can still feel like a celebration, not a concession. The soft flaked cod and tender potatoes need no teeth to enjoy them, the coddled egg crowns humble ingredients with quiet dignity, and a squeeze of lemon is all the brightness a quiet morning needs. Asunción would say: never waste the chance to make a small portion feel like a feast.
