Can I Use Sweet Potatoes?

Yes, you can! Sweet potatoes will work great with this recipe too. Just keep in mind that they are a bit more delicate than Russet potatoes. They will also take a bit longer to bake – about 20-25 minutes.

Why Are My Potato Slices Sticking to the Baking Tray?

It’s probably because you didn’t oil the tray enough. Make sure to use a good amount of olive oil and try turning up the heat a bit too. It should help the potatoes to crisp up and not stick to the tray. And don’t use wax paper – it will stick!
