How to Make Crunchy Potato Chip Tilapia Salt N Vinegar

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pour 1/4 cup milk into a wide, shallow dish.
Spread 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a separate wide, shallow dish or on a sheet of waxed paper.
Place 1 cup crushed salt and vinegar potato chips in a zip-top bag. Seal and crush into small, even pieces using a rolling pin.
Gently coat each tilapia fillet (about 4, 4-6 oz each) in milk, then dredge in flour, ensuring it's fully coated.
Press the crushed potato chips firmly onto the floured tilapia, coating both sides completely.
Arrange the coated tilapia fillets in a greased baking dish.
Drizzle any remaining milk over the fish to help the coating adhere and crisp up.
Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and the chip crust is golden brown and crispy.
