cant get my chips crispy! :(

[miss.mooey]

I decided last week i wanted to try a few new veg and fruit that ive never tried or cooked with before... and here we come to my dilemma.

i have sweet potato and i CANNOT get them to go crispy in the oven
I have tried par boiling, not par boiling, cooking them for 45 mins, higher temp and the list goes on. I even tried usin a potato chipper - needless to say that didnt work and nearly injured myself lol

Anyways just wondered if anyone would be my kitchen fairy and had a solution for me?

Thanks in advance

Are you leaving the skin on?

I've not tried it with sweet potato but when I use regular potatoes leaving the skin on crisps them up x

 

[miss.mooey]

Yup... i prefer my chips with skins

Do you use a chip mesh? I swear by mine!

180 degrees for 45 mins. If they're not crushing up then first bake them until they're cooked then crank the heat up.
