This is not the first time Oprah has mentioned her love of Sweet Potato Chips. In May, she had guest chef Tyler Florence cook up a batch of Sage Garlic chips and the recipe is on her website.
I personally enjoy Utz Kettle Classic Sweet Potato Chips . Utz is Rachel Ray's favorite brand and is available online. Terra Chips and Seneca Foods also have their own varieties and flavors that can be found in natural food stores.
Of course, the best Sweet Potato Chips are fresh from the fry cooker, so give Paula Deen's recipe below a try. She says the seasoning blend will keep six months, but I guarantee the chips will disappear a lot faster than that! I am so glad that Oprah is spreading the word about sweet potatoes. She has always been so candid about her diet and her ups and downs. We have all been there and really empathize with her. I wish her renewed luck in her diet plan and I am sure that her new snack is just the first of many good food tips she will share.
Paula Deen's Sweet Potato Chips
In a large sauce pan or fry cooker, heat oil to 350 degrees F.
Thinly slice potatoes into round disks, thinly sliced. Fry for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle with House Seasoning or sugar, to taste.
House Seasoning:1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Wow I have got to try these.
ReplyDeleteI think Oprah has shared a lot of the experiences that we have all gone through. I am glad she is so open about her weight problems. BTW, I love sweet potato chips. I have been eating them for years, but have never made my own. I am going to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Taro chips, but haven't tried sweet potato chips before. I love all kinds of chips. I will definitely try these.
ReplyDeleteGreat Site. Here in Georgia we love our sweet potatoes. We alsways have sweet potato pie instead of pumpkin. I had never tried making some of the spicier dishes before, just the sweet ones. They are really great. I love trying one of my old faves in new ways!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this, I have been trying to find out what chips Oprah switched to, but it doesn't seem to be on the net elsewhere. - Kelli
ReplyDeleteThese snacks are great for the superbowl. I am usually not that into the game, but about 40 of us gather at my neighbors house and eat and have a good time. Most of us love sweet potatoes so I am going to do some of these chips. I am making some sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and another one with rosemary. I think they will both be a hit. Thanks for all the ideas.

ReplyDeleteI love Oprah, I am sure that a lot of people will start eating sweet potato chips because of her.
ReplyDeleteI tried the corn chips, Oprah used to eat and never liked them. These sweet potato chips are much better!

ReplyDeletei never made my own chips befre. I am going to give it a try. I have had the store bought ones, though. They are really good.
