Sweet potato chip-crusted fish
Sweet potato chip-crusted fish is a modern, health-conscious dish where fillets of white fish (like cod, tilapia, or haddock) are coated in crushed, baked, or fried sweet potato chips before being baked or pan-fried. It's a creative twist on classic fish and chips, swapping the traditional breadcrumb or batter coating for a naturally sweet, crunchy, and colorful crust. The dish is popular in contemporary American and fusion home cooking.
