Crispy, golden sweet potato chips are a beloved snack—easy to make at home with just a few simple steps. Here’s a detailed guide to perfecting them every time.
Start with the right potatoes. Choose firm, fresh sweet potatoes (orange or purple work well) with no soft spots. Wash and peel them, then slice into uniform rounds (1/8–1/4 inch thick) for even cooking. Soak the slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat them *very* dry with a paper towel—this ensures maximum crispiness.
Choose your cooking method. For baked chips: Toss slices with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and optional spices (paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon). Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden. For fried chips: Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry in small batches for 3–4 minutes until crisp, then drain on paper towels.
Season and enjoy! While still warm, sprinkle with sea salt, sugar, or your favorite spices. Let them cool completely—they’ll crisp up as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Whether baked or fried, homemade sweet potato chips are a healthier, tastier alternative to store-bought snacks. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite dip!
