Author Harriett Sebastian

These are almost too simple, quick and easy to be real--but they are!

Ingredients

• 1 medium-large sweet potato
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) ghee or oil, able to withstand high heat
• Salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Wash and peel the sweet potato; cut into thin slices, about 1/4 inch (1/2cm) thick.
2. Heat ghee or oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron is preferable).
3. Add potato slices to skillet and cook, turning every 2-3 minutes, until done. Thin slices need about 5 minutes, thicker slices need up to about 8 minutes.
4. Season if desired; then, remove from skillet and serve.
