Chop the potatoes and flake the codfish fillet. Set a side.

Put butter into hot pan and add onion. Heat onion until, it changes the color and will became clear.
Add flour and heat it in butter. Add milk. Mix the gravy all the time to avoid the lumps. The ready gravy has medium thickness. It should not to be too liquid.
