Ingredients

• 4 pieces catfish fillets
• 1 large russet potato
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

1. Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

2. Peel the russet potato and use a box grater to shred it into fine julienne strips. Place the shredded potato in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 3

3. In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

4. Drain the shredded potato and pat it dry with paper towels to remove moisture.

Step 5

5. Dredge each catfish fillet in the seasoned flour, coating both sides evenly and shaking off any excess flour.

Step 6

6. Take the shredded potato and press a thin layer onto both sides of each floured catfish fillet, pressing gently to make the potato stick.

Step 7

7. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

8. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato-crusted catfish fillets to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the potato crust is golden brown and crispy and the fish is cooked through.

Step 9

9. Remove the catfish from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

10. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
