Ingredients
The skins from 5 fully baked sweet potatoes, torn into pieces*
Canola oil, for frying (or 1 tablespoon olive oil for baking)*
Sea salt, for sprinkling
Assorted fresh herbs, I used sage and rosemary (optional)
Method
Add the oil to a large pot and heat to 350 degree F. Add the skins a few at a time and fry, turning once with a slotted spoon or tongs, until golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes depending on the size and thickness of your skins.
Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and chopped herbs if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. I recommend eating within a few hours of frying, as the skins that have flesh on them get soft after being stored in a bag.
*Note
It is important that before u peel the skins away from the sweet potatoes u make sure the potatoes are fully cooked throughout. Allow the potatoes to cool and then use u'r hands to peel the skin away, leaving a thin layer of flesh on the skins.
**Alternately u can toss the skins with 1 tablespoon olive oil and bake in a preheated 450 degree F. oven for 15-20 minutes or until crisp. Remove and sprinkle with salt.
