Barbecue Sweet Potato Chips

I'm not a big fan of fried foods, but i do love sweet potatoes and this recipe caught my eye. For a treat, try it! slice the sweet potatoes as thinly as possible to decrease fry time and increase crispness. Slicing the sweet potatoes with a mandoline makes for wafer-thin and uniform rounds. But you can also use a chef's knife to slice the potatoes. Adapted from serious eats. I believe they got this from marvin gapultos who is the author of the filipino food blog, burnt lumpia.

Steps

Combine the spices in a small bowl and set aside.
Pour one inch of oil into a large dutch oven or heavy pot over moderately high heat.
Heat the oil until it reaches 375f on a deep-fry thermometer.
Adjust flame to maintain temperature.
Working in batches , place the sweet potatoes in the hot oil , occasionally flipping and moving the slices with a slotted spoon or a wire mesh spider.
Fry the potatoes until the edges curl and the potatoes become golden brown and crisp , 3 to 4 minutes total.
Transfer the fried potatoes to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and immediately sprinkle with some of the spice mix.
When all of the chips are fried , transfer them to a large bowl or serving platter and sprinkle on any remaining spice mix.
Serve immediately.
