Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes or yams
  • Optional:
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
  • ½ to 1 tsp sea salt, to taste
Instructions
  1. Wash and dry the spuds.
  2. Slice as thin as possible with a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, or, slice into julienne-sized strips.
  3. (Optional: Water or steam blanch before drying.)
  4. (Optional: In a large bowl, mix with the oil and salt, making sure all sides get coated.)
  5. Place slices on dehydrator trays with a bit of space between; not much space is needed, as the slices will shrink as they dry.
  6. Dehydrate at 125°F for 8-12 hours, checking halfway through for even drying. The chips should not need turning in a high-quality food dehydrator.
  7. Chips are dry when crisp (if not coated in oil) or just a barely chewy (if coated in oil). If in doubt, dry longer.
