Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

4 limes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large sweet potato (about 3/4 pound)
3 cups vegetable oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Finely grate enough lime zest to measure 1/2 teaspoon and in a small cup stir together with salt. Peel sweet potato and using a vegetable peeler shave as many long strips as possible from potato.

    Step 2

    In a deep 10-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F. and fry potato strips in 3 batches, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and bubbling stops, about 1 minute. Transfer chips as fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with lime salt.
