Inspired by the Player’s Lounge Potato Skins, I tried a different version. This is an easy appetizer that is wonderful to share.

Ingredients:

1 medium sized Sweet Potato, washed and cut into 5 cm thick slices.

2 cups cooking oil (Canola)

Seasoning Salt

1 cup grated Marble Cheese

4 slices of bacon, chopped and sauted until crisp

1/4 cup green onions or chives chopped

sour cream

salsa

Directions:

Using a deep pan, heat the oil over medium high heat. When hot, carefully add slices of the sweet potato. Do not add too many slices. Flip over the slices as they brown, usually about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel. Continue to fry small batches of sweet potato.

Arrange the slices in a single layer on a microwaveable plate. Top with a light layer of shredded cheese. Sprinkle with the bacon bits. Microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Top with chives or green onions.

Serve with sour cream and salsa.
