It’s hard to beat these but you can play with the flavors and dips.

Add garlic and onion powder and paprika for a good seasoned fry. Dip: Ketchup is a good stand by but sweet potatoes can really go with so many sauces. Try mayo as your base and add chipotle peppers in adobe with a touch of lemon juice and cilantro. Or mayo and your favorite BBQ sauce. Try a dill based sauce or even ranch. The possibilities are endless. Freeze: Make several batches and let cool completely. Place in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 360 till heated through.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Fries

Anyone who has tried to bake sweet potato fries or fried them knows that it’s hard to get them crispy. Baking them in the air fryer helps, but they still won’t be super crunchy. There are few things you can do to help.

Potatoes: You don’t have to peel the potatoes if you don’t want to. Cut them the same size as possible. The smaller the better. Ends: Trim the pointy ends off of the potato sticks so the tips don’t burn. Coating: Consider a coating of starch on the potatoes after they are tossed with the oil. Cornstarch or arrowroot starch will work. Just a light coating then season as desired. Heat: Don’t cook them at too high of a heat. Otherwise it’ll burn the outside and leave the inside a mushy. Baking them at 380 should give them a nice golden outside. If your fryer cooks hot try 360 degrees F. Serve: Serve the potatoes ASAP. The longer they sit the more limp they become. Soaking: I’ve found that you don’t need to soak sweet potatoes like you do white potatoes. They just don’t have enough starch to make a difference, so you can save yourself some time and step by not doing that. Over fill: Don’t over fill your air fryer. It will ensure the air can circulate evenly and cook them perfectly.
