Air fryers were designed with the purpose of making fries. The technique used in this recipe is also applicable to regular French fries.

5 Tips for Perfect Fries

  1. Remember to cut the sweet potato strips as even as you can! This will ensure even cooking time and crispiness.
  2. Cook the fries in a few batches and arrange them in a single layer in the air fry basket.
  3. For best results, use canola or avocado oil.
  4. Cooking time depends on you! The longer you cook the fries, the crispier they’ll be. Just be careful not to burn them.
  5. These sweet potato fries make a great side dish, but also a delicious snack served only with the BBQ dip.
