Mashed potatoes with fish

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. We will prepare a full meal of mashed potatoes and fried fish. The fish can be absolutely any: I have halibut. It can be a fish fillet or a fish steak; it is only desirable that the fish is not very bony.

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix flour with a teaspoon of salt.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the fish, cut into small pieces if necessary, roll in the flour mixture on all sides.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan (preferably with a non-stick coating). The oil can be any: sunflower or olive, but in order to prevent it from burning in the pan, I recommend using refined vegetable oil for frying. Place the breaded fish and fry over low heat on one side for about 7-8 minutes, until golden crispy crusts.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then carefully turn the fish over and fry until cooked through, about 7-8 minutes more. If necessary, repeat the frying procedure on both sides again.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the fish is frying, prepare the mashed potatoes. Wash and peel the potatoes. Try to cut the skin thinly; it is best to use a vegetable peeler for this purpose.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roughly chop the peeled potatoes and place them in a saucepan where you will prepare the puree.

8. STEP 8

   

   Rinse the potatoes and fill with clean, filtered water.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add salt.

10. STEP 10

    

    And a peeled clove of garlic. It will give the finished dish a unique aroma. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer for 25 minutes, covered. Then drain the water.

11. STEP 11

    

    Pour warm milk into the prepared potatoes. The milk must be warm. If it is cold, the puree will turn gray.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add oil.

13. STEP 13

    

    Mash with a masher or a special attachment. I do not recommend beating the puree with a mixer, unless the mixer specifically has an attachment for puree. The regular whisk attachment is by no means suitable for making purees.

14. STEP 14

    

    Serve mashed potatoes with fried fish. Bon appetit!

Made mashed potatoes with fish for dinner. An excellent solution and the fish is fried and the potatoes are boiled) I took another fish, cleaned it and cut it into steaks. Sprinkled with salt, pepper and lemon juice. But I decided to fry it not in flour or oil, but I wanted a more dietary dish. I fried the fish in a frying pan without oil in parchment. Peeled the potatoes and boiled them until tender. Added butter and milk. I mashed the potatoes and voila. At the same time, the fish and puree were prepared. This is a wonderful dinner. Simple, fast and very tasty. The fish turned out not greasy, juicy and aromatic. Mashed potatoes are incredibly tender and go well with fried fish. Wonderful recipe! Thanks to the author!
