| Sweet potato chips and dipping sauce |
The secret sauce comes from a local vegetarian restaurant - Seva. We had to go a few times before one of the waitresses spilled the beans - mayo and Clancy's Fancy hot sauce.....huhhh...Seva deep fries sweet potato fries. Today I made "chips" to go along with the sauce. I prefer my sauce made with sour cream and naturally Craig prefers his with mayo. Today was mayo day.

| On medium sweet potato, high heat oil and a mandolin |
I don't recommend the "chip" version unless you have a mandolin to slice a potato so finely and evenly. If not, cut into thin fries and bake a bit longer.
Preheat oven to medium heat - 375F.

| almost done slicing |
 |
| It's amazing how sharp the cutting blades are (there may have been some accidents over the years!) |
 |
| 1 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, dried garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and chili powder |
Mix 2 tablespoons of oil, the spices and potato slice. Spread onto sheet pans in a single layer.
 |
| 1 of 2 pans ready for the oven |
Baking took a total of 30 minutes. After about 15 minutes, rotate sheets and flip chips over. Remove some of the smaller, crisper chips to a dish to cool.
 |
| Out of the oven with a bit of coarse grained salt |
 |
| a few burnt chips |
 |
| Next time, I might do a bit less garlic powder and more chili with a pinch of cayenne |
 |
| dipping sauce |
 |
| whisked |
 |
| Served! |
This was a fantastic side dish with lunch.
