Neelys Spicy Sweet Potato Chips Recipes

SPICY SWEET POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• In a heavy Dutch oven, heat 3 to 4 inches of oil to 320 degrees F (use a thermometer to keep the temp right!).
• Trim the tops off the sweet potatoes and finely slice into rounds using a mandoline or knife. Pat them dry with kitchen paper.
• Mix together the garlic salt, black pepper, paprika, chipotle, cayenne and kosher salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Lower a batch of potatoes into the oil with a spatula. Cook, stirring frequently, until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle on some of the spice mix. Cook the remaining batch.

HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat peanut oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Peel potatoes and then slice into very thin 1/8-inch slices using a mandoline with a straight blade attachment. Keep potatoes in very cold water until ready to fry after cutting. Drain potatoes in a colander and blot dry with paper towels.
• Fry potatoes in batches, only a few at a time, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Once they reach a golden brown color, remove chips from the fryer and drain on a pepper towel lined sheet tray. Dust immediately with salt, pepper and Neely's BBQ seasoning, to taste.
• Combine ingredients and mix well.

• Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, then turn the potato slices over, brush with any remaining maple mixture, and continue baking until tender in the middle, and crispy on the edges, about 7 minutes more.
