1 Video | Photo: Neely's Spicy Sweet Potato Chips Recipe
Ingredients
- Peanut oil, for frying
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 large sweet potatoes, well scrubbed
Directions
In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice the sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Add the sliced sweet potatoes to the hot oil and fry, in batches, until crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray and immediately sprinkle with the seasoning mixture. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

I really enjoyed these chips! My husband said they tasted just like the kind you get in the store just fresher. I forget to put the fresh ground pepper in them!
My only slight deviation was in technique. I soaked the sweet potatoes in ice water for an hour. Tyler Florence's recipe for Sweet Potato Chips outlines this step and I recall reading about this technique in another foodie magazine. I think what happens is the water repels the oil so you end up with a more crisp chip that isn't super greasy.

The spice seasoning mixture is amazingly simple and delicious with sweet potato chips. I have made them over and over again since discovering the recipe. It's the only way I can get my kids to eat this super food.
