PAN-FRIED FLOUNDER WITH POTATOES IN PARSLEY
This sounds simple and tasty! First off, I never peel my potatoes for any recipe I am making. (My family had to get used to it. LOL) Also, don't skimp on the flour and butter, this is such a simple recipe you need to be generous with the ingredients. This comes from The Scandinavian Cookbook by Trina Hahnemann.

EASY PAN FRIED POTATOES, SHALLOTS WITH PARSLEY BUTTER
Quick easy side dish. It takes just minutes into the microwave and then transfer to the pan for a quick pan fry. Some fresh parsley, garlic and shallots make this perfect. I loved pan fried potatoes but sometimes they just take too long and I always feel like I'm using too much butter or oil so this is my quick compromise. Now you can use the pre-bagged either frozen or dairy aisle packaged potatoes, but to me there is no comparison. I just love the sweetness and rustic flavor of the red skinned potatoes. Besides this is so easy to make and such a great inexpensive side dish. Serve with steak, fried fish, or any seafood, and of course one of my favorites an omelette. I don't know about you, but I can eat breakfast any time of the day.

Steps:
- Potatoes -- Add the potatoes to a bowl or I prefer using a pie plate and add just a tablespoon or so of water and cover with plastic wrap. Now microwave. I like to start at 5 minutes and then check. You want them slightly tender but still firm and not falling apart - remember you are going to finish then in the pan. Once they are done, just remove from the microwave and drain well, you don't want water to hit a hot pan.
- Pan Fry -- Add the shallot and garlic to a medium saute pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter on medium heat and cook 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high to high and add the other tablespoon of butter, potatoes and parsley. I like to let them set for a couple of minutes to brown on the bottom before flipping and stirring breaking them up slightly and then again a couple of minutes on the other side before I stir or flip and again breaking them up a bit. They will start to break apart which is fine. Then add the scallions, salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest flounder you can find. Look for fish that is firm and has a mild, sweet smell.
- Season the flounder fillets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Use a large skillet to cook the flounder. This will give the fish plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish.
- Cook the flounder fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the flounder fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Pan-fried flounder is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The fish is mild in flavor and flaky in texture, making it a perfect choice for those who are new to eating seafood. The crispy crust on the outside of the fish adds a nice contrast to the tender flesh inside. This dish is sure to become a favorite in your home.
