👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Cut the potatoes into fries that are as evenly-sized as possible. If you cut a variety of thick and thin fries, they’ll cook unevenly, with the thin ones done well before the thick ones. All air fryers behave differently, and cook times will vary from one air fryer to another depending on a number of factors. After you shake the basket to toss the fries, check on them often to prevent overcooking them. Your sweet potato fries may need more or less time to cook than mine. Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If you overcrowd the basket, the air won’t circulate properly, which means the fries won’t cook like they need to. You’ll have to work in batches if you have a smaller air fryer or you’re cooking a lot of fries, but it’s worth it. Trust me!
