Chips di patate dolci

Ingredienti

• 4 medium white sweet potatoes ((see Note 1 for the best potato to use))
• Canola oil
• Salt

Preparazione

1. 1

   Peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them very thinly using a mandoline, about 1 to 1.5 mm thick.

2. 2

   Transfer the slices to a large bowl of cold water. Rinse several times until the water runs clear.

3. 3

   Lay the slices on paper towels, then blot dry with more paper towels. You can also use a salad spinner first, then pat dry.

4. 4

   Heat the oil in a deep pot to 325°F (165°C).

5. 5

   Add a batch of sweet potato slices to the hot oil.

6. 6

   Fry for 7 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

7. 7

   Remove the chips just before they get too brown, as they will continue to darken slightly after frying.

8. 8

   Transfer to a strainer or wire rack, then season immediately with salt. Shake gently to coat.

9. 9

   Let the chips cool completely so they crisp up, then repeat with the remaining slices.
