Vegetable Chips
INGREDIENTS
1 pound parsnips, peeled and trimmed
1 pound carrots, peeled and trimmed
1 pound beets, peeled and trimmed
1/2 pound baking potato, scrubbed clean, but not peeled
1/2 pound sweet onion, peeled
Peanut oil for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

METHOD
1 Slice the parsnips and carrots very thin lengthwise. Set aside on a
paper towel. Slice the beets, potato, and onion into very thin round
slices. Place the beets and potatoes into separate bowls of cold
water. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before you deep fry them.
Heat the Deep Fryer to 350°. Starting with the parsnips, drop a few
at a time into Fryer basket and cook until lightly brown. Make sure
both sides are brown, turning them if needed.
2 Lift basket and drain. Remove to clean paper towels. Season while
still hot. Repeat with remaining vegetables.
3 For onion slices, dredge the onions in flour. Shake off excess flour.
Fry and drain as above. For even browning, fry in small batches.
