Deselect All

Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying (peanut oil is best)

3 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 tablespoon chili powder

Pinch cayenne pepper, or as desired

2 sweet potatoes, washed, scrubbed, and dried

Directions

Special equipment: deep-fry thermometer, mandoline slicer
Pour oil to a depth of 4 inches in a heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
Mix the salt, sugar, chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl and set aside. Very thinly slice the sweet potatoes on a mandoline slicer and carefully drop into the hot oil in batches, being careful to not overcrowd the pan. Deep-fry until golden around edges, 45 seconds to 1 minute, and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the chips with seasoning while they are still hot and let cool to crisp. Remove the chips from the baking sheet to a serving bowl and eat immediately while still crunchy!
