Ingredients




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

Preparation

1 Zest lime to measure 1/2 teaspoon. 2 Stir together with salt. 3 Peel sweet potato and using a vegetable peeler shave long strips from potato. 4 Using a deep 10-inch heavy skillet, heat oil over moderately high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F. Fry potato strips in 3 batches, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and bubbling stops, about 1 minute. 5 Transfer chips as fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with lime salt.
