Baked Sweet Potato Chips

We celebrated our sweet 15 year old daughter's birthday last week and had my parents over for a little cheer before dinner. These baked sweet potato chips were a perfect accompaniment to spiced cider and crisp white wine ~just perfect for this time of year!  I sent a bag home with my parents to enjoy with their lunch tomorrow. 
If you have a mandolin or slicer that cuts vegetables thin, it makes this process much easier. I made two batches and cut the first batch of sweet potatoes by hand. Even though I couldn't get them as thin as I could with a mandolin, they were gobbled up before they were cool--- they were so yummy!

Using the slicing disc of a food processor or a mandoline or by hand with a sharp knife, but the sweet potatoes into 1/8 inch slices. Put sliced potatoes in bowl and toss to coat with oil.
Spread potatoes out in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake,turning once, until crisp and golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and place on paper towels to cool. Add more salt if desired.Serve immediately or store in air tight container for two days. Enjoy!
