Instant Mashed Potatoes as fish breading

[JONOV]

I have some instant Mashed Potatoes that I am trying to clean out of the pantry...Has anyone ever used them as breading for pan frying?

Yep, I think it's a pretty popular choice.

Yes you can. In fact I used it often until I switched to a new mix. I enjoy experimenting with ingredients. My new favorite for fish when deep frying is: 1/2 cup Shorelunch, 1/2 cup Corn Flake Crumbs, and 1/2 a cup of Panko Breading. I used to use Potato Buds in place of Panko in the above recipe but prefer the Panko now.

Makes an awesome crusty fish fillet. I mix in some McCormick's Perfect Pinch salt free Garlic and Herb seasoning.

I haven't tried the potato flakes but I might have to give them a try this year.

+1 on the panko. Panko and shore lunch is hard to beat.
