SALSIFY CHIPS:

• 1 lb salsify root, cleaned well
• Vegetable or canola oil
• Saltverk Arctic Thyme Salt

Rinse a fresh black salsify thoroughly and slice it very thin (a mandolin slicer works well here).  Leave chips to air dry before frying - they should not be wet when dropped into the oil.  

Heat oil in a pot to 325 degrees.  Once oil is hot, drop in the chips, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.  Fry the chips in oil for 30-45 seconds until golden brown.  Remove from the oil and drain well before transferring onto a paper towel.  While hot from the fryer, sprinkle with a generous amount of Arctic Thyme Salt for the perfect finish.

Use the chips as a perfect topping on pan fried fish or a nice spring salad.

Serves: 2-4
