Tilapia with Potato Crust

This recipe tastes and looks amazing.  Home cooking doesn't get any easier than this.  Serve this tasty fish dish with some roasted carrots and fresh baked buttery, rosemary rolls.  I would like to thank Giada De Laurentiis for this recipe as a courtsey, however, I did change a couple things. 

tilapia fillets
yukon gold potatoes, very, very thinly sliced in circles
fresh rosemary, chopped fine
olive oil
butter
sea salt
freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray an iron skillet with cooking spray and set on stove top on medium high, next completely cover the bottom with sliced potatoes, trying not to burn your fingers, overlaping a little like shingles.  Sprinkle potatoes with salt, pepper and rosemary.  Let the potatoes sizzle a few minutes on the stove top, so they will be tender when the fish is done.  Place fish on a work surface and season with salt and pepper.  Place fish on top of potatoes and drizzle with olive oil and rosemary. 
Dot with a few pats of butter and bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the fish is done and the potatoes are tender.  Place the fish on serving plates, potato side up.
