A Great Tex-Mex style snack

This recipe calls for sweet potato, but can be made with regular potato.


Sweet Potato Chips Dusted with Red Chile Powder

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/ 8- inch wafers
Vegetable oil for deep frying
1 tablespoon hot red chile powder

Heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a deep skillet .  Separate the potatoes into 6 portions.  Fry each batch, turning once, for 1 minute or until they are golden.  With a sloted spoon, transfer the chips to a paper towel to drain and cool. Continue until all potato chips are fried and cooled.
Place the red chile powder in a medium sized plastic bag. Working in batches, place the chips in the bag and close.  Shake the bag gently to dust the chips with the powder. After each batch is dusted, transfer to a napkin lined basket and serve.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
