Lately I have been seeing a commercial where they take mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese and spread it over chicken and then bake it. I thought this was a wonderful idea, since cheese and mayo are an essential part of my diet! I thought I'd change it up a little, and do a nice piece of tilapia instead of the chicken. This was a huge hit at our house. My kids both love fish and adding cheese to it only made it that more appealing!
Parmesan Tilapia
4 Tilapia fillets
1/4 cup of mayonnaise, divided
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
Salt and Pepper to taste
Preheat oven 375 degrees. Place fillets on a foil lined cookie sheet sprayed with a non-stick spray. Spread 1-2 tablespoons mayo on each fillet and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese evenly over fillets. Place in oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until fish begins to flake with a fork. Turn on broiler and broil fish for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown. I promise this is the easiest fish you will ever make, and to top it off the tastiest as well!
Growing up I remember my momma always making potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes. It was rare that we had real mashed potatoes (because my brother preferred instant ones), so it was a special treat when she would make these the next day.
Potato Pancakes
1 1/2 - 2 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1 large egg
2-3 green onions, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
2-3 tablespoons oil
Place oil in a non- stick or cast iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat. While oil is heating, mix potatoes, egg, onions, and salt and pepper. When oil is heated, drop 3-4 tablespoons of potato mixture into pan to form a patty. Usually you can fit about 3 in a pan at a time depending on the size of your skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a nice crispy brown layer is achieved. Flip and repeat on other side. Fry potatoes in batches and drain on paper towels. I love these served with a dollop of sour cream on top!
