Thanks, Faith! It sounds like parboiling or some other method of precooking will be the way to go.

Maryea, actually, that’s one of my fears too! It’s partially why I never got into using it.

Kate, I need more kitchen space too. For sure.

Woohoo! I need to locate mine. Oh, and if you have a pasta maker up there too, I have some awesome things I am working on with homemade pasta. Coming soon!

Thank you so much for the tips, Feener. How thin do you slice the potatoes?

i make them all the time, i don’t peel, lately i have started off by baking it for about 30 minutes first (that way the baking of the chips doesn’t take as long and easier to cut). I cut with a knife and just try to make even. then i mix some olive oil and rock salt and drizzle all over them, then i bake. i do watch them non stop b/c some will burn and i take those out ahead and just keep watching. they are delish !!!

First you inspired me to hunt in my basement for my wok; now my mandoline! Thanks to you, my wedding gift gadgets are finally getting some use!

I am in desperate need of a mandolin, and more kitchen space in which to store it.

I have tried sweet potato chips many, many times. Every time I tell my husband, “I need a mandolin!” and he promptly responds, “You’ll cut your finger off!” He’s probably right. But I know I’m not going to perfect my sweet potato chips without one. Grrr.

With sweet potato fries (not chips) I had good luck with getting them crispy by parboiling them before I oven roasted at a high heat.
good luck
