Sweet Potato Chips

Sweet potatoes are a staple in the South. If possible, boil or bake sweet potatoes in their skin and then peel them, as some varieties can take on an unappealing grayish tone if cooked peeled. Boiled, peeled sweet potatoes will keep well for up to a month in a cool, dry, airy place. Combine sweet potatoes with russet potatoes for incredible, just sweet enough mashed potatoes.

Courses: Sauces
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2   Sweet potatoes
  Juice from one lemon
  Cooking oil - for frying
  Salt

Recipe Instructions

Julienne the sweet potatoes with a potato peeler. Soak the strips for ten minutes in a bowl of water and the lemon juice, then dry on towels. This prevents the potato slices from turning color before frying. Place the slices into the hot oil, a few at a time, and cook until lightly browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and serve.

Serves 4.
