and bone the fish. Flake with a fork into large pieces.

Saute the onions in half the butter until they are tender and golden. Add
the barlic. Boil the unpeeled potatoes in salted water. Once tender,
remove from the heat, refresh in running cold water; then remove skins.
Drain and slice into 1/4" pieces.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 1One half quart casserole with the remaining
butter. Arrange a layer of half the potatoes, then half the cod, then half
the onions. Sprinkle with a little pepper, and repeat layering. Sprinkle
bread crumbs over the top layer. Bake for 15 minutes, or until heated
through and lightly browned. Before serving, garnish with olives and eggs,
and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with wine vinegar and oil in cruets and
pepper on the side.
