2. Boil the potatoes until tender.
3. Prepare a sauce by combining the next 12 ingredients listed. Cook in a large pot (covered) over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Place codfish in sauce, reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add potatoes, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Uncover pot if you want to reduce liquid.
6. Serve, garnishing with chopped pimentos.
