What to go to for a crunchy side when you are just kind of potatoed out? Thanks to my mother, I found the answer a while back with these delightfully delicious sweet potato chips or strips, as I like to call them. They are easy to make and can even be made ahead of time. Just store them in a plastic bag in a cool, dry place after they have cooled completely. And the utility of these sweet and salty wonders does not stop with side duty to a burger or sandwich. They make for a great appetizer and are fantastic in the role of bar food. We love the lime salt on them, but you can use plain salt or you can certainly come up with your own flavor combination to try.

Sweet Potato Chips with Lime Salt

These chips are sweet, salty, zest, and totally addictive! They fry up fast and they disappear even faster!
Equipment
- Digital thermometer with pot clip
Ingredients
- 1 ½ teaspoons finely grated lime zest
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 large sweet potatoes, about 1 ½ pounds total
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together lime zest and salt; set aside.
- Peel potatoes. Using a vegetable peeler, shave as many long strips as possible from the potatoes, turning the potato as you go.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a 3 to 4-quart wide, heavy bottom saucepan over moderately high heat until it registers 350ºF on a thermometer. Fry strips in 6 batches, stirring frequently, until chips are lightly browned and bubbling stops, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer chips to a paper towel lined baking sheet to drain and sprinkle with lime salt. Enjoy!
