    Catfish and Potato PiePin

    This catfish and potato pie is a traditional Colombian dish. Catfish or bagre is a popular fish in Colombia and we cook it in many different ways, this cake being one of them. I prepared it in individual servings this time for a little change as it in normally served in one larger baking dish. Any other type of white fish would work in place of the catfish and you can even add shrimp if you like, which makes for a delicious addition!

      What a beautiful dish! I love catfish although it's not as easy to find here in the Midwest as it is in the South. Still, that shouldn't stop us from enjoying some version of pastel de bagre y papa. 😎

      I also made this dish for the graduation party for a Colombian friend. They said it was not traditional for those from Bogota but it did not prevent anyone from enjoying it. Not surprisingly it was the Americans from the Southern states that enjoyed the creamy catfish concoction the most. I thought it had the same flavor profiles as tuna noodle casserole. Which to me means, today's post party comfort food!

      Great recipe... Could not find fish bouillon at the grocery store so I substituted with old bay seasoning and chicken bouillon instead. I couldn't figure out how cool the cream mixture should of been, I.e room temp or chilled... So I made an educated guess and let it sit till it was warm. Just about to put it in the oven as I type this
