Rating: ©-3/4 chips (return to sender)
We wonder if any restaurant out there has actually put a potato skin, using a sweet potato, on their appetizer menu? That sounds pretty tasty, and like it could actually work.
However, we are here to tell you that sweet potato does not work in this potato skin “chip” form. Otherwise known as the sweet potato powder pressed potato crisp!
Yes, that is correct, the very first ingredient in these potato skins is sweet potato powder…..eww.
We appreciate TGI Friday’s stretching the potato skin family boundaries….but these simply DO NOT WORK.
Their taste is too odd, with a semi-off-putting finish and aftertaste.
The chips are sweet, there is no doubt about that. So in that sense, they are a new type of potato skin unlike any we have tried before. And quite frankly, based on these alone, unlike any we would like to try again.
We can, and do, taste some sweet potato, but in the end, all our mouths really did was recognize just how unnatural tasting these are. And we agree with our mouths’ assessments!
