Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 200 grams mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 175 milliliters cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 liter vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer, cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even slices (approximately 2-3 mm thick). Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Cut the mozzarella cheese into small cubes, roughly 1 cm in size, and set them aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold water to create a smooth batter. The batter should have the consistency of a light pancake batter. Adjust with a bit more water if it seems too thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 175°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature for frying.
Dip each sweet potato slice into the batter, ensuring it is well coated, and carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the sweet potato chips for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chips onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the chips are still hot, lay them out on a heat-safe serving platter in a single layer. Sprinkle the mozzarella cubes evenly over the top.
Place the platter under a preheated broiler in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the mozzarella has melted and turned slightly bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the platter from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
