After 2 minutes, shake pan gently to loosen; cook 2–3 more minutes until well browned and cooked about three quarters of the way through. (While fish cooks, drain and crush potatoes a fork; add butter; mix; add chives, salt and pepper. Turn fish; cook about 3 minutes more or until just barely pink in the center.
