Great recipe to use up left over potatoes! I made a mini casserole out of this using one small fillet of cod making two mini ramekins out of this recipe. I seasoned the sauce with some garlic powder and onion powder to spice it up a bit. I also used skim milk in a small attempt to lighten it up. Great recipe!

Awesome comfort food! I actually expected this to be kind of boring but I was wrong. I did make a few small changes. I seared the fish in a skillet first to make sure that it cooked all the way through. I also used more cheese than was called for and added some dried onions. Also my family is gluten free so I thickened the cheese sauce with potato starch instead of flour. Lastly I went lazy and used instant mashed potatoes instead of making my own. It worked out well because I made them extra thick and they didn't melt into the sauce like other reviews had mentioned. I'm not a huge fan of cod but my family loves it and I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks!

When I spotted this recipe, I knew it was going to be good. The recipe reduces very nicely and leaves something for the imagination. I used red skinned potatoes which were scrubbed but not peeled, cubed them, added 2 cloves of garlic and boiled until fork tender. The milk was powdered milk which was reconstituted at extra strength to have more richness. The cheese was Monterey Jack. Also, when cooking the sauce, I added some white pepper and a touch of salt along with some fresh snipped chives. Delicious!

This is great comfort food. I chose a mix of sharp cheddar for the sauce and parmesan for the top. I used salt cod, 1 lb that i soaked for 2 days in advance, then i boiled it for 8 minutes, and flaked it. i sauteed some shallots, scallions and 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, and added it to the cod. i made and added the sauce, topped with the taters and parm- enjoyed by all.
