Played with making sweet potato chips today - darn telephone!!
Worked much better at 375° F for 4 minutes, turn pans, 2 min. turn chips over and a couple of 1 minute checking after each minute.
Then on to the Sweet Potato Nachos
I combined:
8 oz. pulled pork
2/3 cup Bourbon BBQ Sauce (C@H recipe)
Set aside.
Prepped
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced – clean as much of seeds/membrane as you like
2 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
4 oz. (1 cup) good Jack cheese (I used Beecher’s) ( www.beecherscheese.com )
I spread a thin layer of chips on an oven-proof dish and heated in a 350°F oven for ~6 minutes; then added a layer of the pork, tomatoes, cheese, jalapenos, and red onion. Return to oven for another 5-6 minutes. Top with one more layer as before and bake 5 more minutes.
The flavor is wonderful , but most of my chips were not crisp enough to eat out of hand, but that didn’t bother me at all – I not against using a fork. Roy gave this dish a 9 because he had trouble eating some of the chips. I didn’t, so I gave it a 10. Loved the flavors.
Next to try will be Tex-Mex Nachos using tortilla chips and a more Tex-Mex flavored pulled pork. Will do soon – anxious to compare.
