Let's not forget the sauce... (as if we could!!) the sauce is a recipe that has been highlighted here before - PoDunk Sauce - a fantastic little concoction from Chris at Nibble Me This, that I changed up just a tad bit. Honestly, this sauce could go with just about anything!

This sounds very good Jenn and I've got to try that sauce.
With all the various chips out there, this has the possibility of a thousand variations. Must go back and read about Podunk.
Thanks, Jenn...now I know what we're having for supper tonight!
We eat alot of talapia and will add this to the recipe box! Thanks for sharing Deb

LOL. Yeah, I saw the title and wondered what you were going to do with those potatoes. I envisioned mashed potatoes. But chips? Yes! They make a great crust!
Oh my gosh, you just reminded me how much I wanted to try that sauce! I bet it was awesome with the fish. Nice meal!
THIS could be the one I try!! It's crispy and almost fried so I know the girl will love it, and there's a good chance I will too :) Yup. I'm gonna do it! I'm going to thaw my tilapia and make this!!!
Love that "serve with sauce if desired"! As if you, or I, would ever serve it without sauce! I like the idea of getting the fried fish crunch without frying.
You cannot go wrong with potato chips in any form! On their own, with dip, chocolate-coated, baked onto fish ... :) A perfect food!
I've never thought to crust fish with potato chips. It looks tasty - especially with the sauce.
This is a good idea. It is also easy to do. I love the crunch and am intrigued by the sauce. I never leave here empty handed, Jenn. Have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary
Later that same day....We just got up from the dinner table & I had to tell you how good both the fish & sauce were!! The crunch of the chips was great, especially combined with the sauce! Your Dad said, "Put this on your 'Make Again' list.! High praise from him!
"How can you not love fish coated in potato chips?"
Well....because it is fish. :)
I thought you were going to put potato slices on the fish and I was interested to see how it turned out for you. We tried that with salmon and while it was very tasty, it was definitely not a pretty presentation. Your fish is though. I love that you coated it with potato chips. I'm thinking Zapps Jalapeno would be wonderful on fish. I've done that before with chicken; but have never considered doing it with fish. It looks fantastic, Jenn!
I "make" us eat fish around here once a week, I'd probably get the same reaction if it ended up on the table two times. This looks delicious and I'm heading over to Chris's to look at that sauce.
Potato anything and I'm on it!
