Pro Tip for Perfect Sweet Potato Fries

The secret to nailing the perfect batch of fries is giving the basket a good shake during cooking.

For optimal results, give it a shake every 2-3 minutes in the back half of the cooking process. This trick ensures each fry cooks evenly, letting you successfully cook even larger batches. Many air fryer models have a built-in reminder to shake the basket—make sure not to skip this step!

Cooking Time and Temperature

Typically, frozen sweet potato fries need about 13 minutes in the air fryer, but this could vary based on your air fryer model and how crispy you like your fries.

Always start with the recommended time and adjust from there. If you’re working with thicker fries or a full basket, you might need to tack on a few extra minutes after the initial check. The sweet spot for temperature is 385 degrees Fahrenheit (195 degrees Celsius).

How Much Can You Cook?

The quantity of fries you can air fry at once will depend on the size of your air fryer’s basket. Most models can handle up to 400 grams (about 0.88 pounds) of fries comfortably. You might find you can do a bit more or less depending on your specific model, so don’t be afraid to experiment to find the perfect batch size for your machine.

Follow these guidelines, and you’re all set for a treat—perfectly crispy sweet potato fries right out of your air fryer.

These easy steps will have you serving up delicious sweet potato fries that are sure to be a hit any day of the week.
