If you deep-fry properly - allowing the oil to reach 360 to 375 degrees, letting it return to high temperature between batched, and not crowding the pan with items - your food will not absorb much of the oil. I find it easiest to make these addictive chips in a wok or a deep-fryer. The contrast of toasty and sweet flavors is delightful. I use a Japanese slicer to get uniform, paper-thin slices. Seek out organic oils.

Time 20m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced paper-thin
3 to 4 cups organic canola oil (or enough for about 3 inches in a wok, deep-fryer or wide saucepan)
Salt to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the sweet potatoes while you heat the oil in a wok, deep-fryer or deep frying pan to 360 to 375 degrees. Use a deep-fry thermometer to measure the temperature. Cook a handful of sweet potato slices at a time. They are ready as soon as the edges curl and brown, which should take no more than a minute and probably will take much less. Do not crowd the pan.
  • Using a deep-fry skimmer, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels on a rack. Allow the oil to come back up to 360 to 375 degrees between batches. Season with salt if desired and serve.
