CRUSHED POTATO CHIPS
Level 1
Potato Chip Breadcrumbs for Frying Fish
from John Chiakulus of Lettuce Entertain You
Used as breading for fish, crushed potato chips blended with breadcrumbs make a crunchy and mildly salty tasting crust.
- Preheat oven to 375-400 degrees F.
- Pour already crushed potato chips in a sealed plastic bag pressed out of air. Roll over the bag with a rolling pin to crush the chips evenly.
- Mix finely crushed chips with an equal quantity of breadcrumbs and seasoning to taste (for instance, Cajun or lemon pepper).
- Dip both sides of the fish first into flour, then into beaten eggs (about 2) and finally, into the breadcrumb/potato chip mixture.
- In a non-stick skillet, pan-fry the fish in oil over medium flame. If the fish is on the thick side, sauté until golden brown. Then finish it in the oven. Check after 10 minutes for desired doneness.
