saw it on CBS Sunday Morning just this morning 06/18/06. Must be cut from one potato and are all intertwined. Hanging like a number of links of chain.

I missed the show but this might help
SWEET POTATO RIBBON CHIPS
4 medium orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (yams), peeled
Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
Salt
Place potato flat on work surface, holding one end. Using vegetable peeler and starting at center of potato, shave into long, wide ribbons in quick strokes. Turn potato and continue shaving opposite end. Turn potato over and repeat process for each side. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
Heat oil to 375°F in heavy, wide, 4-inch-deep pot. Shake one handful of potatoes in oil; do not crowd. Fry until crisp and slightly golden, stirring occasionally, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Repeat with remaining potatoes in batches. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover lightly and store at room temperature.)

Very carefully, with a very small garnishing knife. Same principle as making a paper chain. By the way, that segment was a rerun!

That is called "curly fried" and you just need the hand-cranked tool for cutting them.

They have this gadget that cuts the potato that way.

I have seen it.
I could not find the link.
There is a trick as I remember.
