Ingredients

  • 4 lbs (1.8kg) sweet potatoes
  • 6 oz (175g) unsalted butter, room temperature or melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Maldon sea salt flakes preferred or salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary or oregano chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (207°C).
  • Using a mandolin slicer, thinly slice the peeled potatoes. Pat dry the potatoes with paper towels.
  • Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Using your hands, toss with butter, salt, black pepper and chopped rosemary/oregano until fully coated.
  • Carefully place the sweet potatoes upright, from left to right, in a small baking tray. Do not pack in the sweet potatoes too tightly, as this impacts the crispiness.
  • Bake for an hour, or until the sweet potatoes are cooked and turn crispy. Serve immediately.

Notes

You may use 5 oz. of duck fat instead of butter.
