Ingredients and Variations
Sweet Potatoes – Most supermarkets sell only one or two varieties of sweet potatoes, any will work, or use yams that are larger, but very similar in flavor and texture.
Oil – Olive oil has a herby, grassy flavor and lightly coats potato chips. Other light oils to use are avocado, safflower, or coconut oil. Experiment with infused oils, too! Chili oil, basil, rosemary, and garlic oil would all be tasty ways to dress up sweet potato chips!
Seasonings – Besides salt, sprinkle parmesan cheese, taco seasoning, or spicy Cajun!
How to Make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chips
- Toss potatoes in oil and seasonings.
- Fry in a single layer until golden brown (per the recipe below).
Tips for Air Fryer Potato Chips
- Whether you have a Ninja, Corsori, or NuWave Air Fryer, experiment with cooking a few sweet potato slices under different power levels and times to get the recipe right.
- Slice sweet potatoes thinly and uniformly for even cooking. You can use a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife for the best results.
- Thinner chips will cook faster than thicker chips, but for thicker chips, the sweet potatoes can be par-cooked for a few minutes in an Instant Pot, to reduce time in the air fryer.
- Soak the slices in cold water for about 20 minutes to remove excess starch.
- After cooking, place the sweet potato chips on clean paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Keep cooked sweet potato chips warm in the oven if working in batches. Then toss them all in the air fryer to crisp them up before serving.
Storing Sweet Potato Chips
Keep sweet potato chips in an airtight bag on the counter for up to 3 days. Re-crisp them in the air fryer before serving. Avoid freezing leftover sweet potato fries because once frozen, they will lose their shape when they thaw out. Instead, make a fresh batch!
