Deep-Fried Sweet Potato Chips With Mozzarella image

Although you could slice these by hand a mandoline is recommended for this, it is a lot easier as the sweet potatoes have to be sliced paper thin. I have made these using Gorgonzola cheese also, and sprinkled them with seasoning salt, you can really use any kind of cheese that you desire. Of course you can use more than 5 sweet potatoes. These are really good.

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 lbs sweet potatoes or 5 lbs yams, peeled

Steps:

  • Using a mandoline slice the sweet potatoes into 1/16-inch thick slices, and pat them dry with paper towels.
