Open peppers which have been soaked overnight in water, discard seeds, and scrape off pulp from inside. Add pulp to fried onions and garlic. Spread minced potato over bottom of casserole containing onion and garlic.

Pour over it the tomato passed through a sieve. Place the boned cod in the casserole, skin side up, and barely cover with some of the water in which the cod cooked. Add bay leaf.
