Notes

Cut the potatoes into fries of similar size; as this ensures they cook evenly.

The skin of sweet potatoes is edible and full of fibre. However, it is optional to keep them on or peel the potatoes before using.

Do not overcrowd the basket. Air-fry them in batches if required. They tend to stick together or become soggy when overcrowded.

The fries can be tossed in corn starch for an extra crisp layer. I generally do not do this.

Serve them immediately. The fries tend to get soggy in some time so they are best enjoyed within 30 minutes of air frying. To reheat, simply place in a hot air fryer for 2-3 minutes and serve.

While I use the air fryer to make the fries, the same potatoes work for deep frying too.
Air Fryer: Remember to always account for the time needed for the Air Fryer to preheat. The cook time listed does not account for this.
