Baked Sweet Potato Chips
1/2 pound sweet potatoes, well scrubbed and dried
1 1/2 teaspoons corn oil
Salt, optional
Lime salt, optional *
Ground cinnamon, optional
Use a sharp knife to cut the uncooked potatoes into 1/16-inch slices. Pat slices dry with paper towels. Place slices in a mixing bowl and add oil; toss to coat.
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Place oil-coated slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes. Use a metal spatula to turn chips over. Bake 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and sprinkle lightly with salt, lime salt or ground cinnamon. Let cool on paper towels.
- To make lime salt: Finely grate enough lime zest to measure 1/2 teaspoon. In a small cup, stir together this zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the chips
