Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 large Russet potato
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potato and grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Place the shredded potato onto a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Step 2
Season the tilapia fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first dish, lightly beaten eggs in the second dish, and the shredded potato in the third dish.
Step 4
Dredge each tilapia fillet first in the flour, ensuring it is lightly coated, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the shredded potato to coat evenly on both sides.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the potato-encrusted tilapia fillets into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the potato crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or rice.
