re: sweet potato chips - How do you make them?

You could use a mandolin and shave them really really thin, but I rarely do that because the mandolin freaks me out.

What I do is try to slice them, mix them with salt, herbs, and olive oil, then bake them at 450 for five minutes and then turn off the oven until they are dried out and crispy.

I've learned that unless you really scorch them in the oven, a little char on the sweet potato chip tastes good in a roasted marshmallow kind of way.
