Step 1
Soak the 1 lb salt cod in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water 3 times. Drain and shred the cod, removing any bones or skin.
Step 2
Peel and grate the 1.5 lb potatoes and 2 carrots. Thinly slice the 2 cups cabbage and 1 large onion.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp of the 0.25 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cabbage and carrots, and cook until the cabbage wilts and the carrots soften, about 5 minutes. Season with the 0.5 tsp salt.
Step 5
Add the shredded cod and potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
Step 6
In a small bowl, beat the 4 eggs. Pour the eggs over the hash and stir gently until the eggs are just set and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from heat and drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Serve hot.
