Hello everyone! Happy New Year! Hope you had a great #Diwali weekend. Our #Diwali weekend was great. Full of fun and laughter! #HappyHeart. Today's recipe is for Jiji's New Sweet Potato Chips. This is a brand new recipe that my Mum, sister and I came up with together and I am extremely excited to share with everyone. This is how the recipe came about. Mum was making her famous fried fish one weekend. The fried fish looked and smelled so good that I began to wonder how to taste the same flavors but a #vegetarian version. To me, the marinated fried fish looked like sweet potatoes. So we all decided to use the same fried fish marinade recipe but with sweet potatoes instead. My sister quickly marinated the sweet potato chips and fried them up. Everyone loved these chips! They were crispy, spicy, garlicky with just the right level of sweetness. They were all gone pretty quickly! Even the non-vegetarians loved them!
The recipe is quite easy. First sweet potatoes have to peeled and sliced. Then the marinade has to be prepared. Sliced sweet potatoes are then marinated for at least 30 minutes. This step is not necessary but the chips taste better when marinated for a bit. Then sweet potatoes are fried up in vegetable oil on medium heat. They can be served right away as is or with your favorite chutneys and sauces.
And that's it! It is that easy to make Jiji's Sweet Potato Chips! Try it today!
