INGREDIENTS ------------------------------------------------------------
2 Fish filets (cat fish works well) About 1/2 lb tol
1 med Potato, peeled and shredded
1 Egg white
1 med Onion, chopped
2 clove Garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp Herbs, dried (thyme, oregano, majoram or a mix)
3 TBS Oil, vegetable
Cornstarch for dredging
Salt & pepper
DIRECTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------
Saute onion with herbs in 1 TBS of oil until brown (about 7 minutes).
Add garlic towards the end to prevent burning. Reserve and COOL.
Shred the peeled potato with a vegetable shredder. Take handfulls and
wring through cloth to remove as much liquid as possible.
When onion mix is cool, add egg white and mix. Gently add potato to
onion mix and combine but try not to crush the potato "flakes" more
than necessary.
Rinse and dry fish filets. Salt them. Dredge in cornstarch and shake
off excess. Divide onion mixture into four equal parts. Over each
filet spread potato/onion mix but don't press too hard. (You want the
edges of the potato flakes to brown and crisp, that's why.) Turn fish
over and spread remaining potato/onion mixture over the filet.
Heat 2 TBS of oil in a non stick pan to very hot. With a spatula,
carefully slid in the fish filets. Saute each side about 2+ minutes.
Regulate the heat so the potato browns but doesn't burn. The trick is
to get the fish to cook without burning the coating. You can turn
over often.
This dish works well with small pasta (ditali or elbows) dressed with
a little of the frying oil. Fish also microwaves beautifully if you
have any leftovers. Recipe can be doubled.
