Every one needs a few delicious yet simple culinary delights in their domestic ammunition.

Roasted & seasoned sweet potato chips are great as a side or as a stand alone snack. As well as tasting great, sweet potato is also an excellent source of vitamins A and C and Self.com says "snacking on sweet potatoes can help your skin stay clear, smooth and young-looking". Long live the mighty sweet potato...
