    Lime-Salted Sweet Potato Chips, Sweet Potato Salad

    Recipe courtesy Tuck Curren, Bodean Seafood.

    Ingredients:

    1-1/2 tsp. lime zest, finely grated
    1 tsp. salt
    2 large sweet potatoes (about 1-1/2 lbs.)
    3 cups vegetable oil

    Preparation:

    In a small cup, stir together lime zest and salt. Set aside. Peel sweet potatoes and use a vegetable peeler to shave as many long strips as possible from each.

    In a deep 10" heavy skillet, heat vegetable oil over moderately high heat until a thermometer registers 375 degrees. Fry potato strips in batches, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and the bubbling stops, about 1 minute. Transfer fried chips with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain; season with the lime salt.

    Precaution: Extreme caution should be taken when placing potato-chip slices in the hot oil. And, as always, exercise extreme caution whenever cooking with hot oil.

    We at DIY believe all of the recipes from Paul James' Home Grown Cooking are accurate and reliable, but since we have not tested them personally, we can claim no responsibility if the desired results are not achieved.
