Kumara Chips

There is something very extraordinary on the subject of home made potato chips especially when they are made from the sweet golden Kumara.

Ingredients

1 golden sweet potato (Kumara) (500g)

Oil

Salt

Method

Clean and peel the skin off the potato. Slice the potato in long lengthways slices with a peeler and place on a paper towel. Allow the chips to dry for at least 20 minutes. Heat the oil to 160ºC and add ¼ potato slices. Cook for approx. 3 minutes or until the chips are cooked. Place chips on a wire rack to allow the excessive oil drip off the chips. Season if you prefer salty chips. Repeat the process until all the chips are cooked. When the chips are cold place them in a closed container with paper towels. Place the chips in a big bowl and serve with dips.

Note: To make oven baked Kumara chips, preheat the oven to 180ºC. Spread chips on a wire and bake for approx. 15 minutes.
