Serves 2.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 limes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large sweet potato (about 3/4 pound)
  • 3 cups vegetable oil

    DIRECTIONS

    Finely grate enough lime zest to measure 1/2 teaspoon and in a small cup stir together with salt. Peel sweet potato and using a vegetable peeler shave as many long strips as possible from potato.


    In a deep 10-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F. and fry potato strips in 3 batches, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and bubbling stops, about 1 minute. Transfer chips as fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with lime salt.
