Cod with stewed potatoes in a pan, a quick and very tasty dish, also great as a hearty and complete single course, perfect for those who want to eat well and feel satisfied with a good and easy-to-make dish. This recipe can be prepared without problems with either fresh or frozen cod fillets, which we often keep in the freezer. In my freezer they are always on hand, and every now and then, when I feel like a light dish, I take them out to satisfy my craving for fish. Often people don’t know how to prepare them and end up always making them the same way, maybe pan-seared or baked with a slice of lemon. Today, however, I want to offer you a more tempting recipe that pleases every palate: prepared in a pan with potatoes, cherry tomatoes and Leccino olives, which I adore. If you want, try it too — I’m sure you’ll like it.

Steps to prepare cod fillets with stewed potatoes in a pan
Peel the potatoes, cut them into chunks, rinse them well and drain. Put the oil in the pan, heat it and add the potatoes, season with a little salt and start cooking them with a lid on, being careful to turn them so they don’t burn. Cook until they are golden, about 7-8 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the fillets — I used frozen ones; since they are covered with a layer of ice I quickly run them under cold water to remove the ice layer, cut them into pieces and add them to the pan over low heat.
Also add the olives and the washed cherry tomatoes cut in half, and cook everything together for a few minutes, always with the lid on. If needed, add a little water.
In a few minutes the cod fillets with potatoes in the pan will be ready; if you like you can add some chili pepper during cooking and a bit of chopped parsley at the end.
