Sweet Potato Chips with Thyme

Once you learn how to easy it is to make your own potato chips at home, you may never go back to the store.

For Secret Recipe Club this month I was assigned to Kim’s blog Feed Me Seymour. She has so many great fall recipes to choose from with homemade pumpkin spice marshmallows, stuffed maple vanilla spice cupcakes, and butternut biscuits with vanilla bean butter. And all of her recipes are geared towards all skill levels so no matter your experience, her recipes should not scare you away. Unless of course scary is what you are going for and then you should check out all of her awesome Halloween creations such as her broken glass cupcakes or toxic swap cupcakes. Obviously I had a tough decision.

Sweet Potato Chips with Thyme 2

Homemade potato chips have been on my list of things to make for quite some time. When I found her recipe for sweet potato chips I knew now was the thyme, I mean time (pause to bask in the glory of my corny pun). These sweet potato chips are seasoned with fresh orange zest and thyme resulting in the prefect fall snack and, if I can be so bold, are better than store-bought sweet potato chips. The pandora’s box of homemade potato chips possibilities has just been opened and I have Kim to blame/thank!

I definitely don’t use thyme enough! Sounds like the perfect sweet potato chip flavor-er.

I am definitely pinning this recipe, I’ve been making sweet potato oven fries with all sorts of coatings to crisp them up, but never tried this method of slicing them as chips

sounds great!
