Make Your Own Sweet Potato Chips

All it takes is a little muscle on the mandoline and some oil to fry up your very own batch of sweet potato chips. As good as they are from the store, these bite-size homemade crisps are on a whole new level of crispy delicious. Experiment with seasonings (a little chili powder and cayenne for spice, or cinnamon and brown sugar for extra sweet!) and serve with or without a dip for an unexpected appetizer. Here’s how to do it:

Ingredients
Sweet potatoes
1 quart vegetable oil

Tools
Kitchen peeler
Mandoline
Candy and Deep Fry Thermometer

How To
1. Peel sweet potatoes using kitchen peeler.
2. Thinly slice peeled potatoes on mandoline.
3. Heat 1 quart vegetable oil to 340 degrees F. Fry sweet potato slices in batches, a few at a time, until they are golden.
4. Remove from oil and drain in layers of paper towel. Season with salt.
Chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
