Last weekend

I tried something new. I've never eaten sweet poatoes before and I really wanted to try them. I read a post on Cupcakes and Cashmere and decided to give that recipe a shot. Well, first thing I have to say is you definitely need a sharp vegetable grater, mine broke after five slices. Yes, not so good. I then used a vegetable peeler similar to this one.




Well, believe me this one was sharp. In fact, I succeeded in cutting into the tip of my forefinger. Damn, it bled like hell and mixed really well with my bright red nail polish. As I am typing this post I assure not to use my forefinger since it's still unpleasant to touch the finger tip.
Nevertheless the chips were delicious - they better had to since I sacrificed my blood!

It's a very simple recipe. Just slice your potato. Mix it with olive oil, pepper and salt in a bowl and spread it on a baking paper on a baking tray. Bake to gusto.
I suppose you can use every spices you like, I used a sea salt with mediterranean herbs.

Have a nice week everyone!

  1. I used to hate sweet potatoes but now I like them with plenty of salt, otherwise they're a bit too sweet for me.

  2. I so understand your need for salt with them, I feel the same - now I know why they're called "sweet" potatoes!
