1 ½ lbs. freshwater drum, white bass, yellow perch, or other fish fillets, fresh or frozen
1 t salt
¼ t black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 T water
1 C instant mashed potatoes
1 pkg. (7/10 oz.) dry onion or Italian salad dressing mix

Directions:

Sprinkle thawed fish fillets with salt and pepper. In a bowl beat together egg and water. In a separate bowl, combine potato flakes and salad dressing mix. Dip fish into egg mixture and then coat with potato flake mixture. Heat 1/8” oil in a frying pan. Add fish when oil is hot, and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side over moderate heat until golden brown.
