Ingredients
For the Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- Olive oil
- ¼ season salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and prep your sweet potatoes. You can peel them or leave the skins on, that is up to you. Slice the potatoes to 1/4 inch matchsticks size.
- Toss your cut french fries in cold water with ice, to let them soak as you finish cutting up the remaining fries. Remove from ice water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Spray the sweet potato slices with your oil mister, and then season with the salt and pepper.
- Cook at 365 degrees in the air fryer, for 12-15 minutes. Make sure to stir half way through. I batch cooked, as you want the fries to be a single layer. Otherwise, the fries won't crisp up.
- Remove the cooked fries, and do another batch of the sweet potato fries in air fryer. You can place cooked fries on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven at 225 degrees F.
- Once all the air fried fries are done, serve warm. I share two different dips you can make for your fries if you would like.
