How to Make Cascade Style Hot Jalapeno Catfish

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Crush the leftover potato chips into a coarse crumb using a food processor or ziplock bag and rolling pin. Aim for a mix of fine and coarse crumbs.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine crushed chips with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Dip each catfish fillet in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Press the coated fillet firmly into the chip mixture, ensuring it adheres to the fish.
  6. Place the breaded fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or aioli. Enjoy!
