Bacalhau com natas

Bacalhau com natas is a popular way of cooking salted cod in Portugal. It is an oven-baked dish consisting of layers of bacalhau, onion, diced fried potato and cream, commonly spiced with nutmeg and white pepper. Use of dairy such as cream or cheese is not common in traditional Portuguese savoury dishes, however the popularity of this dish—in households and restaurants—make it a classic. The origin of this dish is unclear, but a similar one using cod and cream was invented by chef João Ribeiro in the 1930s.
