Steps
- 01Peel the sweet potatoes.
- 02Slice paper-thin using a mandoline, about 1/16 inch thick. You need them translucent-thin.
- 03Soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove surface starch. Drain and pat very dry.
- 04Spray with oil and sprinkle with salt.
- 05Lay in a single layer. No overlapping.
- 06Ready for the air fryer. Cook in multiple small batches for best results.
Sweet potato chips need to be thinner than regular potato chips because sweet potatoes have more sugar and moisture. If they're too thick, they caramelize and burn on the outside while staying chewy in the center. Paper-thin is not an exaggeration. The mandoline does the work.
