A delicious sweet and salty snack to munch on any day of the week!
Ingredients
- ~650 g sweet potatoes (1 really really large or 2 large sweet potatoes)
- 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
- vegetable oil
Tools
-deep fryer (optional)
-mandoline (optional, but makes this process so much easier if you have one)
Steps
1. Wipe the sweet potato clean with a paper towel (do not wash! This will allow more moisture to enter the sweet potatoes and result in a longer time to fry the chips). Peel and thinly slice the potatoes.
2. Heat a pot (or use the deep fryer if you have one) with vegetable oil, enough to cover the sweet potato chips while frying. Place in a bunch of chips in at one, making sure all of the chips are covered in oil. Do not overcrowd your pot - it will take longer to fry the chips. After a few minutes or once the chips are golden-brown, remove from pot and lay on paper towels to soak in excess oil.
Enjoy once the chips have cooled down!
I really need to buy a good mandoline. Without one, I had to do it the old-fashioned way... by knife.
these were yummy and addicting!
ReplyDeleteAnd try the OXO good grips hand-held mandoline. It's only 15 bucks and get the job done REALLY well, unless you want one that grates and shreds as well.
omg.. can't believe you can make sweet potato chips too! they look yummm... so when do you put the sugar, pepper, ginger and salt?? afterwards?
ReplyDeletei put in all of the spices before i fried it. kind of "marinated" them for a few minutes!
