Ingredients

Preparation 15 minutes preparation + 25 minutes cooking

Soften the butter at room temperature. Clean, wash, bone and chop the anchovies, then use a fork to mash the anchovies and butter in a bowl into a smooth paste. Peel the potatoes and cut into small wedges.

Rinse in cold water, drain, dry thoroughly and fry in a pan with enough boiling oil to cover the potatoes completely (you can check the temperature by carefully dropping one piece of potato into the oil).

When the potatoes are nicely browned, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel. Lightly salt the mackerel fillets and moisten with the oil.

Cook the mackerel on a hot grill for 10 minutes, turning occasionally and drizzling with lemon juice. Grill the crostini until they are golden brown and hot, then spread them with the anchovy butter.
