What’s a frip you ask? Sorta between a fry and a chip. Sweet potatoes slices are great done in the oven, but often they steam more than brown and although they taste good, they don’t give that satisfying crispy fry or chip sensation.
I’ve found rubbing each piece of sweet potato with oil and spreading them out with lots of room on baking trays helps. Cooking them until they are browning but not burned around the edges, gives you a crunch as you bite into them. No, they aren’t like real fries or chips but pretty good none-the-less.
The sauce is an easy go-to dip. Works well with lots of things-crudités, frips , pita chips…
A satisfying appetizer! Enjoy.
