They are an ingredient ingrained in the culture and the harvests of the southern states and that’s a good thing because I love them. Likely my favorite in the nut family, these guys make a great addition to a host of recipes. And the idea of having a feast themed after a certain ingredient gives it a touch of refinement, a direction to which the evening will unfold. In South Carolina we call them pea-cans.

Veggie chips are great because you get more than just potatoes: any solid vegetable can be made into a chip! I made it with beets, zucchini, turnip, and carrot, and sweet potato (and a regular potato, just to be sneaky!) but you could use anything: parsnips, pepper, and anything else that can be sliced on a mandolin. I stared longingly at my cauliflower (my absolute favourite vegetable), but somehow I thought it might not work as well. There are a lot of summer vegetables that work very well with this recipe, but it would also be great in the doldrums of winter when all you have to eat is parsnip: hey, why not fry it?
