Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1¾ pounds fingerling potatoes
Salt and pepper
4 whole flounder
1 cup all-purpose or rye flour
9 tablespoons butter
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
For serving
1 lemon, sliced
Dill sprigs

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, then drain. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel them.
  • Rinse the fish in cold water, then coat each one in the flour, patting off the excess. Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet and pan-fry the fish for 5 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden. Keep the cooked fish warm while you cook the remainder.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a casserole. Add the peeled potatoes and let them sauté a little before adding the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with the potatoes, sliced lemon, and dill sprigs.
