Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Red potatoes
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and shred the red potatoes using a box grater. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Season the fish fillets on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and whisk it lightly. Add the flour to another shallow bowl.
Divide the shredded potatoes into four equal portions, large enough to fully coat each fish fillet on one side.
Dredge each fish fillet lightly in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Press one portion of shredded potatoes firmly onto one side of each fish fillet to create the crust.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Swirl together until melted and bubbling.
Carefully place each fish fillet in the skillet, potato-crust side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure the potatoes adhere and crisp up.
Flip the fish fillets carefully and cook on the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the fish to a serving plate and serve immediately with your choice of side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a simple salad.
