Catfish and Potato Hash...

When I was a child, on occasion we were fed canned hash…ugh that has to be some of the nastiest tasting “food” shoved into a can. Hash has come a long way into modern times and I do not mean the canned stuff! It was typical to serve hash with corned beef and eggs; now day’s people serve it with different foods.

My dad sent me this recipe from GE appliances, what I like about it, was it used Catfish. They suggested any white fish could be substituted but I think Catfish would hold up the best.

Ingredients

2 small russet potatoes
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 pound catfish fillets, patted dry and coarsely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1/2 cup diced ham
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 lemon, cut into quarters

Preparation

Poke several holes in potatoes and microwave on High until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half and set aside; coarsely chop when cool enough to handle.

Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add catfish and cook, stirring often, until just cooked through and opaque, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon and discard any liquid in the pan. Add the remaining2 teaspoons oil, bell pepper, scallions and ham and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes.

Return the catfish to the pan along with the chopped potatoes, mustard, salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring gently, until combined and heated through, about 2 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges.
