How to Make Sweet Potato Chips

I can tell that, as the seasons are changing, I am craving different foods...especially vegetables. I no longer crave summer squash like zucchini and yellow squash, but want to make all things pumpkin, along with butternut squash (my favorite), and potatoes.

Pumpkin Pie Muffins - from Elana's Pantry
