Sweet Potato Chips 野菜チップス

I was inspired to make chips from sweet potatoes after seeing a post by Andrea Nguyen. If I remember correctly, she was served these at a meal with food stylist Karen Shinto. For the first version I simply peeled long slices of sweet potato using a vegetable peeler. These fry up quickly and had a nice crunch.

This sweet potato was sliced with a mandolin and deep-fried. I much preferred the first version above. Keep the skin on the sweet potatoes for a nice pop of color in the bowl. Both of these are seasoned with salt.
