Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tilapia fillets
- 3 cups salt and vinegar potato chips
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, place the flour and mix in the black pepper and salt.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Place the salt and vinegar potato chips in a food processor, and pulse them into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the chips in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each tilapia fillet in the seasoned flour, making sure to coat both sides lightly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured fillets into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Press the fillets into the crushed potato chips, patting firmly to adhere the crumbs evenly to both sides.
Carefully place the coated fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the tilapia immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
