Its a quickie today because I’m just swamped. And for all I know I’ve already blogged this! I can’t remember…I’ve been doing this daily for months… MONTHS!! God help me if I continue this for years… (eyes crossing)
Anyway… so a lot of people have different recipes for sweet potatoes and a lot of people do sweet potato fries. I do chips. Because when they ask, “what’s for dinner” … I tell them, “SWEET” (pause) potato chips. Since chips are a rare commodity in my house… they buy it every time. And they love them.
So…. peel said sweet potato. Zap it in the microwave until it’s squeezably soft (about 6-8 min) Then slice into rounds, i.e. chips. About a quarter inch wide, if even that. Thicker they are the more sweet potato taste… so slice to your preference.
Now these slices are hot and moist (I swear…this is NOT a sex blog!) and you lay them out to sprinkle salt and garlic powder on them. In very hot oil, you put them salted side down and salt & garlic powder the other side.
And you cook them until they’re black on both sides. My kids love them and they get their dose of charcoal food plus some nutrition. And, my god its easy.
