Hand cut sweet potato chips

I made a trial batch of these delicious chips and ate my way through a goodly portion of them all on my own!

Serves: 2 as an indulgent main, 4 as a side dish
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes in total

Ingredients

  • 800g sweet potatoes, peeled

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 tbsp wholemeal plain flour

  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp low-sodium salt


  • Method
    1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius and put a large saucepan of water on the stove and put on high.
    2. Cut potatoes into 1cm thick slices, and each slice into 1cm thick chips.
    3. When water is boiling, add chips and leave for 3-5mins or until just tender.
    4. Drain and return chips to saucepan on a low heat and shake gently to dry.
    5. Transfer chips to a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, add flour, thyme and salt and toss gently to combine.
    6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through, until chips are golden and crisp.
