I was going to post this exact recipe (can't remember where I found it about a year ago)...but was worried that i'd be giving away a great secret...This is, without a doubt, the BEST fish you have ever eaten.
Since you beat me to it, I'll add - lay the fish over a thin bed of mashed potatoes to bulk up your meal...
Also - I've made with flounder fillets as well as trout and may even prefer the flounder...

well then I thank you enormously.
yes i did get it off a message board (probably here before I started posting). and it is DEEEELICIOUS.
one question about putting the strips of sweet potatoes in water...why? and for how long?...I've varied the amount of time each time i've done it...basically, I'll do the sweet potatoe first, put them in water and leave them until I get the oil ready and heated up...I have no idea if that's long enough...either way, it's excellent...I have impressed several people with it...
If there are single guys reading this and you no longer want to be single...i suggest making this for a date... it's that good.

The reason you soak the potatoes is to remove the starch. When small potato strips a fryed or cooked together the starch acts like a glue and sticks them together. With out the starch they seperate and cook crisp and don't lose the color. You only need to soak them for 10-15 min or so. Starting with the potato soaking first like you do is perfect. If you ever make home made french fries you should do the same thing but soak them longer.
I press the potato strips in to the crushed croutons while mixing them together. I try not to crush them up to small because I like the look when they are still visable and I think it adds more to the flavor. The cream will not scorch unless you reduce to far. While it cooks the water content of the cream evaporates and it gets thick. If you cook all the water out it will scorch so reduce till it's the consistence of glue and take it off the heat. If you think you might scorch it turn the heat down before it is done and reduce the cream slowly.

soaking Potatoes
Howdy Queyak,
I love just reading your recipies.
I fix a pan of home fried potatoes and have always had trouble getting them apart. Well some times I did not. If I peeled and placed them in a bowl of water to stop them from turning black. I did not know that I was taking the starch out too. Thanks.
Where is it you do you fixn' I would love to dine at one of your dinners.

I have taken over a new restaurant on the river walk in San Antonio. I am the Director of Operations and am now creating an infrastucture so they can branch out and franchise or build another. It is not a restaurant based on food but entertainment and theme. But I still do consulting for other kitchens, private cooking classes, and private catering. My heart and soul will still be in the kitchen and I will always try to create and study new things to eat and make. I am glad you like the recipes and I hope to put some more up.

For me personally I think nuts are to strong for lighter fish like trout but I know folks that love almonds on their Trout, I wouldn't do it but that's more personal preference than a rule. Give it a shot and let me know how it turns out.double dip wrote: Queyak-- have you tries it with some chopped pecans also? Or is that too much and covers other flavors?
It's only 3 years old. I had almost forgotten I posted this recipe. I'm glad to hear it went well you must be a good cook as well. Recipes can't cook so you have to have some talent to make it work.vincent wrote:Finally got around to making this recipe......
just another one of the hidden jewels on TKF..spend enough time on here looking around ..you'll find something of interest...this recipe kinda reminded me of how my mom would cook beef cutlets..when I was younger..so I call them sweet potato trout cutlets... next time I do beef I'll add some sweet potato...
