Paleo Sweet Potato Chips Recipe
These chips are gluten free, dairy free, soy free, AIP, and paleo
Equipment
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 cups pork lard (for deep frying)
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat the lard in a cast iron pan over medium heat.
- Use a mandolin to slice the sweet potato into thin rounds. If you do not own a mandolin, slice it as thin as you can with a large knife.
- Once the lard is hot, drop in the sweet potato slices in small batches (to avoid overcrowding the pan).
- Flip them over occasionally using tongs and continue cooking until they are browned and crispy (approx. 5 minutes but cooking time may vary).
- Carefully remove the chips from the oil and drain on a paper towel to soak up any excess grease.
- Apply salt (to taste) while chips are still hot and enjoy them immediately with your dip of choice!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, but definitely eat them up within a day or two. To get them nice and crunchy again, toast them in your toaster oven or regular oven.
