Ingredients

Sweet potatoes: You will need two to three large sweet potatoes. You don’t need to worry about peeling them, but be sure to brush off any dirt on the skin. You can rinse them to clean them off, but be sure to dry them thoroughly before slicing and air frying.

Cooking oil: For the oil, choose your favorite. I use avocado oil, but you can also use vegetable, canola, or even olive oil. Since the chips are cooked at a super high temperature, you don’t need to worry about using a high-smoke point oil. Just choose the one you like!

Seasoning: You will also need some salt. I like to salt the sliced potatoes before cooking them and then add a little more once they are hot and crispy.

How to Cook Them

Slice the potatoes: You will want thin slices about 1/8” thick. If your slices are too thick, they will end up more chewy than crispy. Use a mandolin or a very sharp knife to slice the potatoes.

Season: Toss the sliced potatoes with the oil and salt in a mixing bowl. The slices should be completely coated in the oil.

Cook: Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t stack them otherwise, they won’t cook evenly. Depending on the size of your basket, you may need to cook the chips in batches. Cook them for 20 minutes at 200°F. Flip them over and cook them for five minutes at 350°F or until they are crispy.

Serve! Season them with more salt, if desired, and serve them hot.

This is such a fun and delicious way to use your air fryer! We love making sweet potato chips for parties, game-days, and movie nights – I hope you give them a try!
