Homemade potato and sweet potato crisps (chips)

Fun to make, this delicious snack is not difficult to prepare at home anytime and enjoy it without guilt since it is much healthier than the store-bought chips (crisps)! Following the same pattern you can have crisps with different flavours (like oregano, paprika, coriander, ginger) etc. Just add the herb or spice you prefer the moment they are out of the pan, just before they absorb the rest of the oil

Recipe from "Cook Book" magazine of "ETHNOS" newspaper

Ingredients (for 4 people):
500gr. of potatoes
500gr. of sweet potatoes
6 tbsp of lemon juice (or plain vinegar)
2 tbsp of all-purpose flour
coarse salt
frying oil
pinch of white pepper

Method:
Peel and cut the potatoes in very very thin slices. ***Ideal for this is the Mandolin vegetable cutter. If you don't have one, use the wide side of a classic kitchen grater.

Put plenty of water in a deep bowl and add the potatoes, the salt, the lemon juice, the flour and stir. Leave the ingredients aside for at least 2 hours.

Drain, pat dry and fry in hot oil for 5-8 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
