I've been on the PB for a little over a week and couldn't be more satisfied. I don't really crave any of my old foods and have been perfectly happy eating my fill of meats and vegetables. I do, however, eat half a sweet potato now and then do to my running, etc. I have some sweet potato chips in my cupbord and wondered what the consensus was on these and other vegetable chips.

Better than the last sweet potato chips I saw, first ingredient was corn.

Every time I eat those premade sweet potato chips (even from reputable sources) I end up with digestive distress...I assume the oils. If I slice sweet potatoes and fry in coconut oil I have no issues. That is enough of an experiment for me!

Frying them yourself in coconut oil is beyond awesome.
If you are new to the PB - please ignore ALL of this stuff, until you've read the book, or at least http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/ and this (personal fave): http://www.archevore.com/get-started/

I second this....nothing beats homemade. If you got a mandolin you can get them really thin too.Originally Posted by tfarny

i can't eat store-bought chips of any kind anymore because they make me queasy. i know it's the rancid oil.
home-made chips are much awesomeness.
i'd be a vegetarian if bacon grew on trees.
