Notes
Prep-Ahead Instructions
You can slice the sweet potatoes into fries the day before to save time. Storage Directions Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. It is best to freeze the fries in a single layer on a sheet pan for a few hours. Then, transfer the potatoes to a freezer-safe bag and keep for up to 6 to 7 months. To reheat, pop the sweet potatoes back in the air fryer at 350℉ for about 5 minutes. Recipe Tips- Same size. Cut the fries to a similar size to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- A little goes a long way. Toss the potatoes with just enough oil to coat, and not too much.
- Give 'em space. Place the fries in a single layer, with little to no touching. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
- Turnover. Flip the fries halfway through cooking to allow all sides of the fries to crisp up fully.
- Change it up. Vary the flavors on these potatoes! Try them with Parmesan cheese or Cajun seasoning.
