CRISP HOMEMADE SWEET POTATO CHIPS- A SIMPLE JOY

     

 



There’s a charm in frying something at home and enjoying it right away. Sweet potato chips are one of those little joys. Believe me, the ones you fry fresh in your kitchen are tastier than anything you’ll find outside. They’re crisp, crunchy, and somehow feel more comforting than a bowl of sweet potato curry or sambhar.

At home, we often pair these chips with plain rice and dal. They brighten up the plate instantly. Some days, they don’t even make it to the dining table – we start munching them straight from the paper towel where they’re cooling!

How I make them

I usually take two medium sweet potatoes, peel them, and slice them nice and thin. A quick soak in cold water helps remove the starch, and then I pat them dry. Hot oil does the magic – the slices curl, turn golden, and fill the kitchen with that irresistible fried aroma. Once out, a simple sprinkle of salt is enough, but sometimes I add a pinch of chili powder or pepper if I’m in the mood.

Why I love them

They’re not just a snack – they feel like a memory. Something about sitting with a plate of hot rice, dal, and these crisp chips makes the meal extra special. And when there’s a rainy afternoon or a lazy weekend, these chips with a cup of tea feel like the perfect treat.

Homemade sweet potato chips don’t ask for much, but they give back a lot – taste, warmth, and a little crunch of happiness.

Here is the recipe :

Ingredients

2 medium-sized sweet potatoes

Oil for deep frying

Salt to taste

A pinch of red chili powder or black pepper (optional)

Method

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.

Slice them thin and even (a slicer works best).

Soak the slices in cold water for 10–15 minutes to remove excess starch.

Pat them dry completely with a kitchen towel.

Heat oil in a deep pan. Once hot, add the slices in small batches.

Fry until golden and crisp.

Remove onto tissue paper to drain excess oil.

Sprinkle salt (and chili powder/pepper if you like a kick).

Serving Ideas

Serve hot with steamed rice and dal as a crunchy side dish.

Enjoy them on their own with tea or coffee.

Store in an airtight container for a few days of munching.


Homemade sweet potato chips are simple, quick, and full of flavor. Once you try them, you’ll never feel like buying packed chips again!
