  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

4 limes
1/2 teaspoon salt

  1. Step 1

    Finely grate enough lime zest to measure 1/2 teaspoon and in a small cup stir together with salt. Peel sweet potato and using a vegetable peeler shave as many long strips as possible from potato.

    Step 2

Transfer chips as fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with lime salt.
