Original gebackener Karpfen – Weihnachtsrezept mit Erdäpfel-Mayonnaise-Salat

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Boil the potatoes until tender but not fully cooked.

While the potatoes are boiling, peel the carrots, cut them into small cubes, and blanch them briefly to keep them fresh.

Add peas to boiling water for 2 minutes to keep them green and crunchy.

While the vegetables cool, prepare the mayonnaise by mixing it with egg yolk, mustard, and a splash of lemon juice.

Optionally, add pickles or a spoonful of cream for extra creaminess, but the creator skips this.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper directly into the mayonnaise mixture.

Once the potatoes are still warm, add them to the mayonnaise along with the blanched vegetables and gently fold everything together until creamy and shiny.

The dish can be prepared in advance, leaving only the carp to be cooked on Christmas Eve.

Fillet the carp, remove the bones, and cut it into manageable pieces, or buy it already filleted.

Remove the skin by holding it with a paper towel and cutting lightly along the skin.

Season the carp well with salt and black pepper.

Dredge the carp in flour, then dip it in beaten egg, and finally coat it in bread crumbs, preferably using fresh bread crumbs instead of store-bought.

Fry the fish in a combination of oil and melted butter for a crispy golden crust, ensuring it stays juicy inside.

When the aroma fills the kitchen, it's a sign that Christmas is here.
