Method
Peel the potatoes4, cut into 3 cm cubes, cover with cold salted water, and boil for 15 minutes until tender. Thaw the fillets and pat dry.
Warm the milk5 and butter6 until just hot. Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk with a fork.
Drain the potatoes4, mash them, then stir in the warm milk5 and butter6 until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
Season the fillets with salt, dip in the egg wash, then coat evenly in breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the fillets for 4 minutes per side until golden and crisp; the fish should flake easily.
Blanch the peas in boiling water or sauté in a pan for 3 minutes until hot.
Serve the mashed potatoes4 on a plate, topped with the fish and peas. Keep everything hot.
Tips
- Why it works
- Dice potatoes to 3 cm so they cook evenly and don’t turn mushy or stay hard. Smaller pieces overcook faster; larger ones stay raw inside.
- Substitutions
- Use panko for breadcrumbs. It stays crispier. Replace peas with frozen corn (80g), thawed and drained.
- Common mistakes
- Overfrying the fillet makes it dry and rubbery; check by cutting. Juices should run clear, not gray.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or within 1 day. Reheat mashed potatoes in a microwave for 2 minutes, covered. Freeze fillet only if breaded raw.
- Serve with
- Pair with a simple green salad and lemon wedges for a balanced, light dinner.
