http://mysite.verizon.net/res1945x/id10.html has the recipe I started with for "Frap Fries"

I left the skin on the sweet potatoes because they were organic. I thinly sliced up two good size but not overly large sweet potatoes. I put them in a bowl of water with 1/4 cup white vinegar to 2 cups water. Soaked for 20 minutes.

Then I loaded the racks on my dehydrator and they were full. I put the machine on for 24 hours. To dehydrate in the oven bake at 250 for about 4-5 hours depending on thick whatever you are dehydrating is.

They are tasty. And best of all Chester CHEWS, even though these are as thin as potato chips.

http://www.sitstay.com/store/edibles/chews5.shtml Sam's yams sells the variety of dehydrated yams. Based on their website I'll try yams (orange flesh) and slicing thicker - but not until the fall as the machine will have to run for more than 24 hours.

Sweet potatoes are full of vitamin A, C and E.

Thanks for sharing that recipe Merrie, I have made dryed sweet potatoes for the dogs, but I didn't soak them. I wonder why the vinigar? I will try it though.

And that website is wonderful too.

Vinegar helps start the breakdown of the enzymes in the potatoes before the dehydrating. Otherwise they would be too tough for us to try chewing (and might even break a dogs tooth).
