Baked Sweet Potato Chips
26 Nov
EVERYONE loves a good crispy potato chip. Lately, there’s been a huge trend in the potato chip industry to make baked chips instead of fried ones. Also, I’ve been seeing a lot of bloggers making baked potato chips lately. It seemed easy enough, so I was inspired to try making some too! Dolly auntie and I came up with this quick and easy Indian-inspired recipe that adds a hint of chaat masala to the chips. They were deeeelicious.

Did you know? National Potato Chip Day is March 14th.

Ingredients:
- approximately 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp. roasted garlic flavored extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp. chili powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. cumin powder
- ¼ tsp. chaat masala
- black pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Peel potatoes.
- Slice potatoes very thinly* and put in a large bowl. Use a slicer on a cheese grater or a mandolin; using a knife will be very difficult to maintain consistency.
- Add oil and mix well, coating each potato.
- Add all spices and mix well. Use your hands to make sure each chip is coated well.
- Sprinkle black pepper on potatoes.
- Line tray with baking sheet or foil.
- Place sweet potatoes on foil in a single layer, but it’s ok if they overlap a bit.
- Bake approximately 12 – 14 minutes, until crisp and slightly brown. After 9 minutes, flip them; don’t worry, they don’t get too hot.
- Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. They will continue to crisp while they cool.

step 2
step 3; our cheese grater had a slicer on it, so we didn't have to invest in a mandolin slicer, which can be dangerous!
you can see here how thin the potatoes are sliced
step 4: oil
step 5: spices
step 5: don't be afraid to get dirty!
step 6
all ready for baking!
step 8: in the first batch, we placed the potatoes further apart because we weren't sure how they'd bake
while baking, they shrunk tremendously!
so for the second batch, we placed them much closer together
Those look so yummy!
mmmmmm, these look so delicious!
Hi, these look amazing! I was wondering how strong the spices taste on the chips, and how long they can keep for/how to store them.
Hi, thank you! The chips just have a hint of the flavor, not too much. I’m sorry but I don’t know how long you can store them as we made two batches and they were gone within minutes!! In any event, I think you should let them cool completely and my best guess would be in a paper bag that is not completely air tight.
