Steps:
- One day ahead, soak the salt cod overnight in cold water to cover, changing the water several times. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
- On the day of serving, boil the potatoes until they are tender. Poach the salt cod in fresh cold water to cover for 15 minutes. Drain, rinse and remove any pieces of skin or bone.
- Combine the potatoes, salt cod and garlic in a food processor. Puree until smooth. Gently heat the olive oil in a small pan. With the machine running, slowly add the hot oil through the funnel, then the hot milk. Season to taste with white pepper. Place the puree in a gratin dish.
- Just before serving, put the puree under a preheated broiler and brown lightly. Serve with fried bread triangles.
CREAMY COD AND POTATO GRATIN
I got a Food Wish for a classic creamed cod recently (which, by the way, was one of my childhood favorites), but instead of doing the traditional version, I decided I'd try to make it a little bit fancier and refined and present basically all the same ingredients, but in an individual-sized, beautifully browned and bubbling, gratin form. Not to spoil the ending, but I was very happy with how this came out!

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot of well-salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer gently until tender, about 20 minutes.
- While potatoes simmer, trim, bone, and cut the cod fillets across into 2-inch pieces.
- Drain potatoes well and return to the pot. Add a pinch of cayenne, salt, and 4 tablespoons butter. Mash until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease 2 individual-sized casserole or baking dishes with 1 tablespoon butter. Place both dishes on a baking sheet.
- Transfer about 2/3 cup of the mashed potatoes into each of the prepared dishes. Smooth out evenly and make a shallow depression with a spoon down the middle. Set aside.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shallots in the hot butter with a pinch of salt until they just start to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne, and bring to a simmer. Add cod and wait for the sauce to come back to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, while basting with the sauce; turn and cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in lemon juice and turn off the heat; stir for about 30 seconds.
- Divide the pieces of cod over the potato. Add enough sauce to just cover the fish and return the pan to the stove.
- Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in tarragon.
- Spoon the thickened sauce over the cod. Add a light dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cod is cooked through and the sauce is browned and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

MORUE ET SA PUREE (SALT COD AND MASHED POTATOES)
Susan Herrmann Loomis describes this dish as looking like the Matterhorn showered with green. It's basically a mound of mashed potatoes, topped with poached flakes of fish, topped with a sizzling mixture of hot olive oil, garlic and fresh parsley. Together with a simple green salad and a glass of good rose, it's a wonderful French farmhouse meal. Depending on your taste and the salt cod you have, the fish should soak for at least a day, and perhaps as much as two.
