Potato Encrusted Stuffed Tilapia image

I guess I'm going to consider this a Yankee recipe because fish and potatoes are a mainstay along the coast. So glad Susie picked out my favorite ingredients. This has been fun creating recipes. Be sure to use small red potatoes.. russets will not stick.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The fish is mild and flaky, while the potato crust is crispy and savory. The stuffing is also very tasty.
