Freezing is not a common method of storage for sweet potato chips.

• Always make sure to store your sweet potato chips in a cool, dark place like a pantry or kitchen cupboard.
• After opening, reseal the bag tightly to keep air out – a clip or rubber band can work wonders.
• If you've opened a bag and won't be able to finish it within the 2 weeks, investing in an airtight, resealable plastic container can help extend their life by a few days.
