Spicy Sweet Potato Chips Cilantro Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In a heavy Dutch oven, heat 3 to 4 inches of oil to 320 degrees F (use a thermometer to keep the temp right!).
• Trim the tops off the sweet potatoes and finely slice into rounds using a mandoline or knife. Pat them dry with kitchen paper.
• Mix together the garlic salt, black pepper, paprika, chipotle, cayenne and kosher salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Lower a batch of potatoes into the oil with a spatula. Cook, stirring frequently, until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle on some of the spice mix. Cook the remaining batch.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Stir together olive oil, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Brush the sweet potato slices with the maple mixture and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, then turn the potato slices over, brush with any remaining maple mixture, and continue baking until tender in the middle, and crispy on the edges, about 7 minutes more.

Steps:

• 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!
