Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
1 1/4 pounds thin asparagus spears
10 blades fresh chives, snipped or chopped
8 (4-ounce) lake or rainbow trout fillets
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
Salt and pepper

A handful fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped

  • Hold asparagus spears at each end. Snap asparagus tips from tough ends by bending spears. Place spears in a colander. Rest colander on top of the potato pot and place a cover over the colander. The asparagus will steam while the potatoes cook. Do this the last 5 or 6 minutes that the potatoes are cooking.
  • Potatoes will be just about done when the last of your trout is going into the skillet (method follows.) When the potatoes are tender, take a minute to drain them and return them to warm pot. Leave asparagus covered and set aside. Dress potatoes with chives, a drizzle of olive oil and a little salt. Leave in warm pot until trout is on the table, then transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Combine egg and milk in a tin pie plate, beat with a fork. Place a cup of flour in a second pie tin and season well with salt and sparingly with pepper. Coat trout fillets in egg and milk, then in seasoned flour. Collect fillets on a plate until all of them are dredged and ready to be cooked.
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to your skillet, half a turn of the pan in a slow stream. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter to the pan. When the butter foams, add trout and gently saute 4 fillets for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer trout fillets to warm platter in oven.
  • Return pan to the stove and add 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. When butter foams, repeat cooking process. When all of the trout is cooked, add last tablespoon of butter to the pan. When the butter melts, add almonds and brown until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Opt for small, waxy new potatoes that hold their shape well when boiled. Varieties like fingerlings, baby red, or Yukon Gold are all great options.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender: Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain and cool the potatoes: Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing or dicing.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: New potatoes are a blank canvas for flavors, so experiment with different seasonings to create a unique dish. Try using herbs like rosemary, thyme, or dill; spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika; or a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.
  • Cook the potatoes in different ways: While boiling is the most common method, you can also roast, fry, or grill new potatoes. Roasting brings out their caramelized flavor, frying gives them a crispy exterior, and grilling imparts a smoky taste.

Conclusion:

New potatoes are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you boil, roast, fry, or grill them, new potatoes are sure to be a hit. With their tender texture and mild flavor, they're a perfect side dish for any meal.
