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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 2

Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, place the flour and mix in the black pepper and salt.

Step 4

In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Dredge each tilapia fillet in the seasoned flour, making sure to coat both sides lightly. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 7

Dip the floured fillets into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 8

Press the fillets into the crushed potato chips, patting firmly to adhere the crumbs evenly to both sides.

Step 9

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).

Step 10

Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the tilapia immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
