Sweet Potato Chips
These addictive snacks began as an appetizer item on our menu (served with ancho mayonnaise)!. They didn't sell as such, but we thought they were the greatest!. We started putting a few on every bowl of tortilla chips!. They're now one of our most popular signature items!
Cut sweet potatoes with mandolin or similar slicer (thin, about width of a nickel)!.
Fry in a pan with vegetable oil (we use canola) about 2 inches deep at 350 degrees for 7 to 8 minutes turning frequently!. Fry in batches (try not to crowd pan)!.
Air dry in a strainer or another type of basket for several minutes - sprinkle with salt and chile powder!.

As a substitute for plain old cranberry sauce, I make a jello dish using raspberry or cranberry jello, canned cherry pie filling and canned whole cranberry sauce!. I melt the jello in necessary water, add other items, then pour into a shallow dish or pan to set!. (A glass 9"X13" baking pan is good!.) Before serving I stir about 2 Tbsp!. gran!.sugar into a 16-oz!. carton of sour cream and spread on top!. It is far more popular with my family than a can of cranberry jelly wiggling on a plate!
A twist on pumpkin pie is my version of "pumpkin cream pie"!. I mix canned pumpkin pie filling, usual spices, instant vanilla pudding mix, required milk, and Cool Whip and pour into a graham cracker crust!. It is a nice alternative!.
I also like to add fresh apple chunks (lightly sauteed in a bit of bacon drippings), breakfast sausage, and bacon to my turkey dressing!. It makes it much more interesting!
And last, in addition to the traditional pumpkin and pecan pies, I always make sure to have a chocolate cream pie on hand also!. The kids at my Turkey Day dinners usually prefer it to the others, and sometimes the grown-ups ask for a bit of it too! You just can't go wrong by having a little chocolate around, ya' know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
