Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For crispy and flavorful fries, choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have blemishes, as these may not cook evenly.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: To ensure that the fries cook evenly, cut them into uniform sizes. This will help them cook at the same rate and prevent some fries from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Toss the fries in oil and seasonings: Before air frying, toss the fries in a bowl with some oil and your desired seasonings. This will help them crisp up and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: To ensure that the fries cook evenly, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Give them enough space to circulate air and cook properly.
  • Shake the basket during cooking: To prevent the fries from sticking together and ensure even cooking, shake the air fryer basket a few times during the cooking process.
  • Cook until crispy: The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fries and your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on them and cook until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
