Spicy Sweet Potato Crisps
What it is
These are hand-cooked potato crisps made from sweet potatoes. They are seasoned with harissa, a North African chili paste known for its smoky and spicy flavor. The crisps are prepared in small batches to ensure a consistent texture and taste. The sweet potato base provides a slightly different sweetness and color compared to traditional potato varieties. They offer a unique flavor profile for snack enthusiasts.

These crisps are ready to eat straight from the bag. They are perfect for a quick snack when you are craving something savory and a little spicy. For a more complete meal, they can accompany lighter fare like salads or wraps. When entertaining, they add an interesting element to a platter of appetizers. Their distinct flavor makes them a good accompaniment to creamy dips or even a simple yogurt-based sauce.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining crisps in their original packaging. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent air exposure. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will help preserve their texture and flavor for future enjoyment.
