Spanish Potato and Cod Stew | Hearty and Flavorful ONE-PAN Recipe
This Spanish Potato and Cod Stew, known as Guiso de Patatas y Bacalao, is what the humble Spanish kitchen is all about. We’re talking simple ingredients, easy to make and all done in a little over 40 minutes. Serve it next to a garden salad and a bottle of Spanish white wine for a delicious meal.
To make this recipe, I used cod fillets I bought frozen and thawed out. Just to make things quicker and easier. You can also use fresh cod here, as well as any other type of firm white fish. Such as halibut, tilapia or hake.
For the potatoes, I used yukon gold. Important to use potatoes that are a bit more waxy than starchy, as they hold their shape better in stews. You can also use new potatoes, golden delight or even red potatoes. For the liquid, I used fish broth. However, chicken broth or vegetable broth can also be used.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: It took my potatoes about 15 to 20 minutes to cook through. Just pierce them with a toothpick to ensure they are done. This stew will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge and freeze for up to 3 months.
