Baccalà con Patate Recipe: Italian Salt Cod with Potatoes

There’s nothing like gathering around the table for a comforting Sunday meal, and Mama’s homemade Baccalà con Patate never disappoints! This classic dish is all about tender salted cod, hearty potatoes, and a rich tomato sauce simmered to perfection. It’s a labor of love that takes a few days to prepare, but the end result is so worth it especially when shared with family. To make it even more special, we add a splash of Gratsi Rosé to the sauce, bringing a subtle depth that pairs beautifully with the briny cod and creamy potatoes. A glass of that same rosé on the side just makes it all the more perfect. Looking for more hearty Italian cooking? Try our Frittelle di Patate e Cipolle for a crispy, golden companion dish, or go full Sunday spread with Nonna Rosetta's Meatballs in Sauce. For something a little different, the Stuffed Chicken Roll is another crowd-pleaser worth bookmarking.

Prep the Cod: Soak the cod in cold water for 3 days, changing the water twice daily. Rinse one last time, cut into pieces, and set aside.

Build the Base: In a pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onions until fragrant, then add potatoes and cook for 2 minutes.

Simmer: Add tomato purée, bay leaves, chili flakes, oregano, salt, pepper, and Gratsi rosé. Add enough water to cover and simmer until potatoes are tender.

Finish: Add cod and olives, cooking gently until the fish is warmed through. Adjust consistency with water if needed.

Serving Suggestion: Pair with a glass of Gratsi Rosé for a perfect match!
