This book is intended for the single person, or couples, who are not of a culinary nature, and want to make dinners for one or two people. This book is intended to give the reader quick and easy recipes that make just enough food for themselves or themselves and another person, while teaching them some useful cooking tips along the way. There are a variety of meals in the book from pasta dishes to chicken, meat and fish dishes. There is also a chapter in the book about making meals for that special person in their life.
A couple fillets of frozen white fish, thawed (cod, or what ever kind you want). Fresh fish would be best.
1 or 2 medium potatoes
A dash of salt
A dash of pepper
A dash of onion powder
A dash of garlic powder
1/2 cup of oil
Thaw the fish in a dish filled with milk. I know this sounds weird, but it will thaw the fish out and take away any fishy smell to the fish.
Peel the potatoes. Shred the potatoes with a hand shredder. You can even use frozen shredded hash browns, but they have to be fully thawed before you use them. Dry off the fish with a paper towel. This will let the potatoes stick to the fish better.
Heat the oil in a skillet. You will be able to tell that you have the right temperature by taking a piece of potato and dropping it into the oil. It should start to bubble and cook, but it should not bubble too much or burn quickly.
Take the shredded potatoes and form a coating around the fish until the entire fish is encased in shredded potato. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder over the fish.
Set the fish into the frying pan and cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until each side is golden brown. Remove the fish and set on a plate with paper towels on it to drain off the excess oil.
For a homemade tartar sauce, just take some dill relish and mix some mayonnaise in a dish.
This dish is good served with some rice and maybe some steamed vegetables.
