Fish in potato crust is a refined dish of European cuisine, where tender tilapia fillet is enveloped in a crispy potato shell. This cooking method emerged from the desire to combine simple ingredients with maximum benefit and flavor. The potato crust not only creates an appetizing golden layer but also retains the fish's juiciness inside. With each bite, the harmony of the fillet's softness and the crispy texture is felt, while the light aroma of fried potatoes complements the overall picture. The dish is perfect for both family dinners and festive tables — it can be paired with light vegetable salads or spicy sauces. Fish in potato crust embodies simplicity, accessibility, and unmatched taste in one recipe.
