Lotus root chips

Okay,some of you night not even be familiar with lotus root , Unless you are japanese or south east asian or east indian.
Lotus root is, well, just that, root of lotus.
You do know what a lotus is, right?
It growns in swampy ponds mostly freshwater. It propogates by tubers which run in the slush at the bottom.
during summers, the ponds dry up exposing these roots, and ofcourse, greedy hungry people dig them out and eat them
I was thrilled to find some at the grocers last week.
made some chips, though i had initially boght them for soups and stews.
ATe up all the chips too .In one go.
You see, I have these deep fried craving once every two weeks. I mostly don't like eating fried stuff, but once in two weeks, i have to eat a batch.
