Recipe Notes

The best way to tell of these chips are done? A taste test! Check a chip from the middle to make sure they are crispy throughout. The chips along the edges of the pan may get done before the chips in the center. Remove the crispy chips and allow the chewy ones to cook a bit longer. They cook fast once they start browning so watch them closely!

Sweet Potato Chips

Here is how I make Forking EPIC Sweet Potato Chips…

 Wash potatoes and cut off ends so that you have a nice flat surface for the mandolin. I like to do half lengthwise for longer chips and the other half in the traditional potato chips shape. *TIP* Don’t throw away those ends! Your dog will LOVE them just like they are. This is one of my dogs favorite snacks. 

Use mandolin to cut potatoes into chips

Put ¼ cup coconut oil on 2 cookie sheets and melt in preheated oven. Place sliced potatoes in single layer on oiled cookie sheets. They can touch but don’t let them overlap. Sprinkle with sea salt. Turn over to get potato chips coated on each side with oil. Sprinkle with more sea salt. Add more coconut oil if needed.

Cook for 20 minutes. Turn over being careful not to break potato chip. Cook for another 20 minutes- Checking often the last 5 minutes to be sure they aren’t turning dark brown. Add more time if the chips haven’t started to brown on the edges. Remove from oven and cool on paper towels.

Store in airtight container for a week. Here is a picture of the chips cut lengthwise. They make the perfect bottom for my Fruit & Walnut Chicken Salad

Did you know that dogs LOVE sweet potatoes? My dogs know the minute I get them out that they are going to get a treat. They love them raw, cooked, or just the baked potato skins. And even better, sweet potatoes are good for them and cost WAY LESS than the stuff on the dog isle. Give it a try!
