We picked up a dehydrator at a garage sale a few years back and now the pups get dehydrated sweet potato chips. I keep them in a zip lock bag and they keep until gone with no refrigeration.

Just a thought! When I was doing the search for the sweet potato dog treats, a common thread of most of the recipes I found was that storage was an issue. The consensus seemed to be that refrigerated unfrozen lifespan was about a week. My conclusion from that was that storage over a week should be frozen and a week or less refrigerated. I simply keep a weeks supply in the fridge and replenish that stock when exhausted from the frozen supply. Not sure this makes sense as dried should be safe but, not a big deal to be on the safe side. Now, one difference is that I use the oven method as I do not have a dehy!. Perhaps that is the key! In any event, I did a large batch yesterday and the PUP is absolutely delighted with me! I also recently read that one could but a small amount of liver sausage on the sweet potato before processing. I haven't tried this yet but will with the next batch.
