Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them very thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to ensure uniform chips.
Step 2
Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help make the chips crispier.
Step 3
While the sweet potatoes are soaking, in a small bowl mix together the sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to create the seasoning blend.
Step 4
Drain the sweet potatoes and pat them completely dry with paper towels to avoid oil splatter during frying.
Step 5
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature.
Step 6
Carefully place a handful of sweet potato slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Immediately sprinkle the seasoning blend over the hot chips, tossing gently to evenly coat.
Step 9
Repeat the frying and seasoning process for the remaining sweet potato slices.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your St Vincent Sweet Potato Chips, or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain their crispiness.
