Potato-Wrapped Halibut with Sauteed Spinach

This recipe immediately jumped out at me from the last Bon Appetit because of the unique technique of wrapping the fillets with potato. There is actually a step-by-step lesson in the back of the magazine. It seemed challenging and delicious. I began by slicing the Yukon Gold potatoes as thin as possible with my chef's knife -- Bon Appetit recommends using a mandolin or V-slicer. I feel like I am handy with a knife and am looking forward to improving when I go to CulinAerie in a few weekends. I cut the potatoes thin, but apparently not thin enough. Even when I "pressed to adhere" as it called for in the recipe, I could not get the potatoes to stay wrapped. When I started to pan fry the fillets, they immediately fell apart. Not to be denied, I set up the Cuisinart and tried to slice the potatoes using one of the attachments. This process created mini potato chips that I used to cover a thinly slice piece of fish. Still a total disaster.

The photo to the left is what Bon Appetit advertised; the other is my best (and third) attempt. I don't know if mandolin would have helped--this meal is not easy to make. Even if you could get the potato around the fish, it would be hard to fry the potatoes and fish so one didn't get over or undercooked.

Nate - I chuckled when I read your comments about this recipe. When I saw it in BA, it instantly appealed to me for taste but knew the wrapping of potatoes was a disaster waiting to happen. I am not a great thin slicer, and don't have a mandolin so knew it was too much for me. Bravo for your courage in trying!
