Let's talk about white sweet potato, yes, you heard right, WHITE!

Originally from Japan, this sweet white potato is now widely cultivated in Thailand. Its mild sweetness makes it perfect for chips. When sliced thin and crisped, these potatoes offer a crunch, with just enough flavor to enhance any seasoning.

Sweet Potato Nachos with CNC Cheese Sauce

Prepare Sweet Potato Chips

To get that perfect crunch, set your oil temperature to 165-170°C (329-338°F). Slice the sweet potatoes thinly and fry them until they’re nice and crispy. It takes a bit of time, but the result is well worth it.

Ingredients

• 2 medium white sweet potatoes (or any sweet potato of your choice)
• Oil for frying
• Salt for seasoning
  

Instructions

• Slice sweet potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
• Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat.
• Fry sweet potato slices in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

 

Make Chili Nut Crunch Cheese Sauce

For the cheese sauce, you can try Comté, a favorite around here, but any mild semi-soft cheese works just fine. Mix in some Chili Nut Crunch for a bit of spice and nutty flavor. It’s creamy and adds just the right kick!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cups Comte cheese, grated
• 1/4 cup Chili Nut Crunch 

Instructions 

• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture is golden and forms a paste (about 1 minute).
• Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
• Reduce heat to low and add the cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
• Stir in the Chili Nut Crunch to add a spicy, nutty kick to your cheese sauce.

 

Assemble Your Nachos

Once your potatoes are ready, top them with whatever your heart desires. We love adding sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice, making each bite fresh and flavorful.

Ingredients
