Ingredients

2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled, matchsticks
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1

Soak 2 lbs peeled, matchsticks sweet potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes. Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels - this is important for crispiness.
2

In a large bowl, toss the dried sweet potato fries with 2 tbsp olive oil until coated, then sprinkle with 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss again until evenly coated.
3

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes.
4

Arrange the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook at 380°F for 8 minutes, shake the basket, then cook for another 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp.
5

Serve immediately - sweet potato fries soften quickly, so eat them right out of the air fryer.

Questions

How long does Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
