Baked Sweet-Potato Chips

A mandoline or a hand-held slicer will quickly turn out thin, even slices of sweet potato, although a sharp knife and a steady hand will also work fine.

    I've read where people blanch the sweet potatoes to help get them crispy (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/378235). You also might try cutting them with a mandolin to get them a bit more thin. I LOVE sweet potatoes

    I found these to be rather delicious - I love sweet potatoes in any form! Mine didn't get particularly crisp, but I've stopped expecting that of sweet potatoes. They were a wonderful accompaniment to a turkey burger!
