TILAPIA WITH POTATO CRUST AND CHIVE ROSEMARY OIL
This fish recipe is one of my family's favorite. It's easy enough for a weeknight, but elegant enough to serve at a dinner party or special occasion. My hubbie who isn't a fish fan at all, does not turn his nose up when this dish is served, instead he rather enjoys it. Originally a Giada recipe.

- To serve, place the fish on serving plates, potato side up. Drizzle the fish and the plate with the chive oil. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To ensure the potato crust is crispy, use a combination of grated and mashed potatoes. The grated potatoes will provide texture, while the mashed potatoes will help bind the crust together.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the potatoes by hand using a box grater. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they adhere to the tilapia.
- To prevent the potato crust from falling off the tilapia, press it firmly onto the fish before baking. You can also use a toothpick to secure the crust in place.
- For a more flavorful crust, add some herbs or spices to the potato mixture. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve the tilapia immediately after baking. The potato crust is best when it's hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
This tilapia in a potato crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy potato crust adds a nice flavor and texture to the tilapia, and the fish cooks up tender and flaky. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
