If you are looking for a healthy alternative to potato chips, try making these at home. They are great with your sandwich or burger.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Peel sweet potatoes and slice as thinly as possible. Toss with 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and spread in a thin layer on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake about 20 minutes or until crispy. Makes 4 servings.

Hey,
This recipe for sweet potato chips sounds delicious and easy to make. Thanks
Can do the same with yams which are different from sweet potatoes, plantain, any food that grows from a tuber.
Fish sauce is a better option and certainly more thrifty than olive oil. I've also found that 3 - 5 minutes in the microwave works better than 20 minutes in the oven. Drop a line if you want my recipe: wordswork@telus.net

I am always looking for ways to preserve food and make it delicious. I was given a bag of huge sweet potatoes and decided to dry them. My first attempt was not that great to eat as a snack, so a friend suggested cinnamon and brown sugar - yum!
Put cinnamon, sugar, and salt into a bag and shake up potatoes in small batches. Place on the screen of your food dryer. Turn it on and dry until crispy, about 12 hours.
Store in a glass jar. They will keep for at least a year if you can manage not to eat them.
