Homemade Fish Sticks with Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

• 1
  First, put the potatoes to boil: peel them, cut them into approximately 2x2 cm cubes, place them in a pot, pour enough cold water over them to cover, salt them, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.

  Meanwhile, prepare the fish sticks. Cut the cod fillet into thicker strips, approximately 2x7 cm, then salt them.

  Prepare three deep plates for breading: put the flour in the first, crack the egg into the second, add 2 tablespoons of milk (approx. 20 ml from the total amount) and whisk it. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs into the third plate.

  When the potatoes are cooked, drain them, add the remaining 100 ml of milk and the butter, then use an immersion blender or potato masher to make a silky puree. Salt to taste.
