INGREDIENTS

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 ¼ pounds red potatoes, scrubbed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • Four 5-ounce catfish fillets
  • 4 lemon wedges

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray.

Cut potatoes into ½-by-2-inch sticks; rinseunder cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Spread in single layer on one of prepared baking sheets; spray with nonstick spray. Bake until potatoes are golden brown and crispy, about 30 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.

Meanwhile, lightly beat egg in pie plate. Mix together cornmeal, parsley, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper on sheet of wax paper. Dip catfish, one fillet at a time, in egg, then coat with cornmeal mixture, pressing so it adheres.

Place fish on remaining prepared baking sheet; lightly spray with nonstick spray. Bake until golden brown and just opaque in center, about 12 minutes. Serve with potato sticks and lemon wedges.
