Sweet Potato Chips

Unfortunately, sweet potatoes generally do not store well and once they start to spoil, they rot quickly. Even if you think you can cut away the spoiled parts of a sweet potato, it negatively affects the taste of the entire potato. 

HOW TO CUT AND MAKE  SWEET POTATO CHIPS FOR A SIDE DISH OR SNACK

For my sweet potato chips recipe, for instance, I chose a jewel sweet potato and a Japanese yam for variety and color. Jewel sweet potatoes have orange skin and orange flesh, while Japenese yams have red skin and white flesh. Similar in sweet buttery taste, both varieties of sweet potatoes contrast in color. 

Then, I cut the sweet potatoes in thin slices using a Mandoline with a 1/4 inch blade. Of course, you can make the sweet potato slices thicker, but then you will need to adjust the cooking time. 

Once the sweet potatoes are cut, I place them in a container full of water until it's time to cook the sweet potato chips. Since I don't cook with oil, the water-soaked potatoes are wet, so the seasoning sticks. First, drain the water from the sweet potato slices and then place the damp potatoes in a bowl and toss with seasonings:

• Garlic Powder
• Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning 
• Sea Salt

Even though I chose these seasonings, feel free to add your favorite seasonings. 

OTHER FLAVOR SUGGESTIONS

• Fresh lime juice, garlic, and chili powder
• Fresh rosemary, salt, and lemon juice
• Fresh dill and lemon juice
• Malt vinegar and salt
• Lemon pepper
• Vegan Parmesan Cheese

HOW TO COOK SWEET POTATO CHIPS IN THE AIR-FRIER OR THE OVEN

AIR-FRIER DIRECTIONS

Despite different settings on different machines, most air-friers function similarly. Some helpful tips, however, make it easier. One suggestion, for instance, is to make sure you cook in batches if you have a lot of potatoes. Air-friers, without oil, cook best if the potatoes or any food is in a single layer on the bottom of the air-fry pan. 

When I cook larger batches, I preheat my oven to 300 to keep the cooked sweet potato chips warm, while I air-fry the others. As a result, the sweet potato chips are cooked and warm when served. Another idea is to shake the air-frier basket every 5-10 minutes during the cooking process. 

• Rinse and drain sweet potato slices
• Place potato slices in a bowl
• Toss with a seasoning blend of choice
• Add a single layer of seasoning sweet potatoes in a single layer in the bottom of the air-frier pan. 
• Heat air-frier to 400 degrees
• Cook for 15 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes throughout the cooking process
• Then, place cooked sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and transfer to a 300-degree oven to keep warm

OVEN DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Using a baking sheet covered in parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, place a single layer of sweet potato slices
• Or, use a crisper pan, which is like an air-frier in the oven.
• Place the pan on the center rack for 30 minutes
• If using a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, flip potatoes after 15 minutes.
