This was excellent! I used red potatoes in place of the purple. The sauce on top makes this dish...so good!

I've made this twice now and I've discovered that the secret to getting the potatoes to stick to the fish is the thickness, or rather thinness, of them. I just bought a Kyocera adjustable hand mandoline and, on the the thinnest setting, the little purple potatoes (the ones that come in the mixed bag of small potatoes stick like glue. They were sliced paper thin and I had no issue with any of them sliding off. One tiny potato covers more than one filet. Delicious recipe!!!

5 stars on flavor for sure! I make the chive/rosemary sauce for many of my fish dishes now. I did not think the purple potatoes added anything. Mine were more of a gray color which seemed a bit unappetizing (unpeeled red would have looked better and mine flew all over the pan when I flipped the fish. Even when cooking was complete, they didn't seem to stick to the fish. Maybe grating or adhering with a mustard would work.

Ok, I would love to know where on earth you find purple potatoes cause they don't sell them in Lubbock. But that's ok. I used red potatoes and they worked great. I don't know why this is an expert level dish though. I didn't have any problems making it and thought it was delicious and easy. I've never tried tilapia before but its really a great meal. I'm so glad it turned out well. You must try!!

This is my first time eating Tilapia, and wow - what a great way to start! :- I couldn't find purple potatoes, so I used sweet potatoes/yams, and..DELICIOUS. I also only had dried herbs on hand, and it seemed to work just fine (although I added fresh Italian parsley. I will be making this dish again and again.... and I must say, the presentation is absolutely unique and gorgeous. Such an EASY recipe too, which minimal cleanup.. yay. :- Giada never fails me. :-

I made this meal for my girlfriend and myself. I served it over flavored long grain rice. We don't like "fishy" foods, so this was a great choice, the tilapia is a mild flavor, and with the rosemary and chive oil, perfect flavor, I would recommend. Make sure you are prepped before starting. enjoy!

My husband has to be the pickiest eater on the planet and he LOVED this recipe. We made herbed spaghetti squash to go with it and together, it became my new favorite meal. It's a light, healthy dish that you don't feel bad eating!!

i think the first issue i had with this dish was that the purple potatoes were too hard to find. I found a bag of small 1-1/2 inch potatoes in a bag of mixed types. So the bigger the purple potato, the easier it would have been. The slices were too small to stay flat on the fish. As soon as i flipped them, the potatoes went all over. i would suggest laying down the potatoes first, and then covering them with the fish. the other part of the dish i would change is the salt. GO EASY on it. In the episode, she says to season each layer, first the fish, then the potatoes. OMG way too much salt. i would salt it just once and let people add more if necessary. I definitely plan on trying this recipe again, except with a few changes.

Holy smokes!!! After watching this episode, I promptly went out to make this dish...along with the inexpensive tilapia, I also purchased for myself a ceramic hand held mandoline (like the one used in the show~ what a great investment! The potatoes came out perfectly and this dish is AMAZING! I used the herbs we already have growing on the patio, so the whole dish was very affordable...not to mention elegant, super easy and sooooo tasty! I served the fish alongside another recipe from this episode- the roasted acorn squash with maple syrup (without the pizza part, of courseand a simple arugula salad. I was afraid it might be too starchy all together, but with the potatoes being so thin, the flavors really complimented eachother... All the different colors also lent to a very pretty presentation. Thanks Giada! This one is a winner!!!

OMG! I knew this would be a good one when I saw the show. It turned out even better than what I expected! The flavor is just wonderful and the fish was so tender and juicy. It was extremely easy to prepare. My family absolutely loved it! I could not find purple potatoes in my area so I substituted with Red Bliss. I also added 1 garlic clove (minced to the olive oil/chive sauce. This is an impressive dish for company. This will be the dish I use for my next dinner party. Giada...I use many of your recipes but this was by far the BEST! Thank you.
