Description

Crisp, delicate, and stunningly translucent sweet potato chips that combine natural sweetness with a melt-in-your-mouth crunch. Perfect for impressing guests or indulging in gourmet goodness at home.

Ingredients

Scale

2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
1 cup (120g) cornstarch
1 cup (240ml) water
Neutral oil (vegetable oil, canola oil, or avocado oil) for frying
Sea salt to taste
Optional seasonings: cinnamon, chili powder, or sugar

Instructions

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them as thinly as possible using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (120g) of cornstarch with 1 cup (240ml) of water. Whisk until completely smooth with no lumps.
Dip each sweet potato slice into the cornstarch mixture, ensuring a thin, even coating. Shake off any excess liquid before frying.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat about 2 inches (5cm) of neutral oil to 325°F (163°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the slices in small batches to prevent overcrowding. Each chip should take about 1-2 minutes to crisp up. Flip them halfway through for even frying.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chips to a cooling rack lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with sea salt while they’re still warm.
Let the chips cool completely before serving. They’ll become even crispier as they cool.
