Sweet Potato Chew Recipe - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ellie May · 03-17-2009, 05:25 AM

Did I see a recipe for sweet potato chews on YT awhile back?
I think sweet potato was the only ingredient and you just baked the slices until they get chewy.
Or am I thinking of something else?

Anyway, is this possible and how do you do it?
Sweet Potato has to be the only ingredient.

I know they sell them but I want to make my own.

Thank You

Wash a sweet potato and cut down the middle lengthwise. Then cut long lengthwise slices about 1/3 of an inch wide and place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Bake in 250 degree oven for about 3 hours.

Since your oven is on, you may want to make some chicken jerky as well. I put mine directly on a stone pizza plate...it cuts the baking time, a lot. (I use a spatua to remove them). I have my oven set a lot lower, though, to about 185 degrees. You can see what works for you.

I missed your answer and thought I was going to have to bump this up again.

Ellie would love chicken jerky but she can't have chicken right now.

If you don't mind me asking, why would a dog not be able to have chicken?

Ellie, My guys love those. I baught a bag,and now I make them weekly. I have a dehydrater and make all my own snack for them. They love the chicken and venison also. I hope you little one likes them. Good Luck!!

She is on an elimination diet for food intolerance and we don't know if chicken is the problem. The only foods she is really allowed right now are fish, oatmeal, banan, sweet potato and white potato. She may or may not ever be able to eat it again but fish is better for her liver anyway.

Of course I don't mind you asking.

I have read so much about a dehydrater. I've always used my oven, but I hate to have it on for almost three hours, so I usually make quite a few treats at one time. Do you think it's better than using an oven?

I would love to try to make these but unfortunately the only time my grocery has sweet potatoes is around thanksgiving. I have made the chicken jerky though and they loved it

mkawczak · 03-24-2009, 10:11 AM

I got it at Walmart a while ago,used it alot and then stopped. I've gotten it back out for the pups,and they love it. I like to dry fruit too. I like to give them a variety. Lucky us no diet issues...except we all need to be on one...lol

ARCHIE · 03-24-2009, 10:19 AM

That's a very interesting recipe. I think I will make some this weekend.
The chicken jerky is interesting as well. Think I'll do that too

They are easy enough and I buy both at the pet store where I shop.
Thanks guys,

same here(with Avie!!)

she can not have chicken or anything high in fat% (no lamb, etc!)

she is on a very limited ingredient diet.. sweet potato & venison!

we will also cook sweet potatos and store them in the fridge.. it's a great way to give pills too!!

we give her green beans as treats, as well!! both my girls love those!!!
