Let’s quickly whip up a delicious winter snack that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 100g vegetable oil (for frying)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Shall we start making these wonderfully crispy and sweet sweet potato chips? This recipe is your ticket to delicious homemade snacks, perfect for special occasions or just a regular day.
Step 2
First, wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. It’s important to scrub away all dirt and debris. Since we’ll be using the skin, make sure to clean them meticulously.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to slice the sweet potatoes thinly. A mandoline slicer is ideal, but if you don’t have one, a vegetable peeler or a simple knife will work just fine. Slicing them thinly is key to achieving a wonderfully crisp texture when fried. Aim for a consistent thickness of about 2-3mm.
Step 4
Pour a generous amount of vegetable oil into a deep pan or a wok. To check the oil temperature, drop in a single slice of sweet potato. If it immediately starts sizzling and frying, the oil is ready. You don’t need a separate batter; the sweet potato itself makes delicious chips, making this recipe perfect for when a snack craving strikes unexpectedly.
Step 5
Once the oil reaches the correct temperature, carefully add the sliced sweet potatoes to the pan. Fry them gently, ensuring they don’t clump together. Giving them a little space will help them fry evenly.
Step 6
Because the sweet potato slices are thin, one fry is usually enough for a good crisp. However, for an extra crunch, you can fry them a second time. See how they’re turning a beautiful golden brown and look perfectly cooked? Your sweet potato chips are almost ready!
Step 7
And there you have it – simple, savory, and sweet sweet potato chips! This method isn’t just for sweet potatoes; you can use thinly sliced regular potatoes in the same way during potato season to make delicious potato chips. Isn’t that incredibly easy? Enjoy them with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
