👩‍🍳 How to make Sweet Potato Chips

Heat oil (5 mins, high heat): Heat 2 cups coconut oil to 330°F/165°C until shimmering.
Fry (10 mins, medium heat): Add chips in batches—do not overcrowd. Stir frequently. Fry 8-10 minutes until edges are brown and centers are crisp. Visual cue: chips should be golden-brown with slightly darker edges, not pale.
Season while hot (2 mins): Transfer to paper towels. Immediately sprinkle 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp chili powder, and ¼ tsp turmeric while still hot so spices adhere.
Cool and store (3 mins): Cool completely before storing in airtight container (lasts 2 weeks).

📖 Cultural notes

Sweet potato chips have a natural sweetness and are often paired with savory coconut chutney as a breakfast snack in coastal Kerala. ---
