Blackened fish is just plain delicious; no fancy adjectives, adverbs, or puns needed to love the contrast of slight heat and pepper and the flaky lightness. It's deliciousness pure and simple, nothing more and nothing less. We save the adjectives for the potatoes, a presse-inspired preparation that's cheesy, gooey, and lovely. Bring the simple and the potato together, and it's wonderous.

Press potato down into cups and season with 1/4 tsp. salt.Divide cheese between cups. Then repeat shingling as before with remaining potato slices, pressing them firmly into cheese. Potato slices may overflow cups, and there may be extra slices. Season with a pinch of salt. -
