Ingredients for Sweet Potato Chips
For the sweet tater chips: A large sweet potato, thinly sliced with a mandolin. To oil before air frying: Olive oil spray, but avocado oil spray would also work. For the seasoning: Flakey salt and fresh chopped chives.
Ingredient Swaps
Potatoes: we’ve tested this recipe with sweet potatoes, russet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes and all worked well. Seasonings: we seasoned these sweet potato chips with a simple combination of sea salt and fresh chopped chives, but our everything bagel seasoning or even our Old Bay seasoning would be tasty. Oils: we love using olive oil spray for this recipe because it’s a neutral oil with a moderate smoke point. Avocado oil spray would be a great alternative.
Top Tips
- Should I peel my sweet potato? The option is yours. We prefer to leave the skin on, but peeling is definitely an option.
- The potato chips take about 15 minutes to crisp up in the air fryer. However, you can only do one batch at a time, so the cooking time will vary based on how large the potatoes are.
- If you do not have olive oil spray, you can use 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Instead of spraying the rounds of the potato use a pastry brush and lightly brush each round with olive oil.

Storage
These sweet potato chips are best served immediately! Should you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Because they’re not made with any preservatives like store-bought chips, they will not keep as long, and will lose some of their crisp over time.
