Sweet Potato Chips with Lime Salt

by | May 23, 2014 | Sips and Small Bites | 14 comments

Okay.  Confess. You love a good potato chip as much as I do. I know you you do. But, if you’re like me, you really do try to limit the amount of that love because it has a weighty way of loving you right back.  If you know what I mean.
These sweet potato chips with lime salt are a little bit of a concession to not eating those tortilla chips that I might otherwise grab.  Yes, they are healthier but I eat them mostly because they are just so darn good.  I especially like them served with Judy’s Hummus, Tri-Colored Salsa or Lisa’s Salsa — or maybe all three!  Can’t say that I care for them so much with cheese dip though.
What would you serve with them?  I’d love to know.  Share…

      They really are good. Try them sometime with a sprinkle of ground chipotle and let me know what you think.

    I don’t fry much anymore (more for mess reasons than health, although both count), but I may have to try this! Sounds amazing! This is one of the things my scary mandolin is super good at.

    Sounds delicious! Might be a good reason to break out that deep fryer we’ve never used. 🙂

    Oooh I’m gonna try this. Love the idea of lime salt with sweet potatoes. And I’ve been making a new healthy dill dip this would be great with.

      We really liked them. I’m going to try them sprinkled with a little ground smoked chipotle as well. What do you think?

      I love the taste of lemon or lime on just about anything myself. I hope you enjoy these as much as we did.

    I love sweet potatoes! This might be a way to enjoy them savory instead of sweet.
