Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 °. Rub potato with 1 teaspoon oil and bake directly on oven rack until tender, 50 –60 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel. Mash potato until nearly smooth

  2. Meanwhile, bring garlic, trout, and milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat; let sit 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer half of trout to a plate; flake.

  3. Place garlic, milk, and remaining trout in a food processor along with lemon juice, paprika (if using), and remaining 1/2 cup oil; process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and gently fold in mashed potato and flaked trout; season with salt and pepper.

  4. Transfer trout mixture to a 1-quart shallow baking dish or four 6-ounce ramekins and top with Parmesan. Bake until cheese is melted and golden brown and brandade is heated through, 15 –20 minutes. Serve with bread, meats, cheeses, and grapes.
