FAQS


Do I need to coat the air fryer basket with oil?

You may need to use a bit of oil in this recipe. I usually coat the basket with a little oil to prevent sticking. However, I haven’t had the need to spray the fries with any oil.

What can I do if the sweet potato fries stick to the bottom?

Use a nonstick spatula to gently move the fries. Sometimes letting the potatoes cook for a few more minutes till they caramelize loosens them. You can also line the basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking next time. Be sure to poke a few holes in them to allow for circulation.

How long do you air fry frozen sweet potato fries?

Cook them for about 12 minutes at 380 degrees Fahrenheit, shaking the basket twice.

Can I use the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid accessory or Duo Crisp to make this recipe?

Yes, you can use the same timing and temperature to make these air fryer sweet potato fries using the Instant Pot air fryer lid, Duo Crisp or Pro Crisp.

What brand of frozen sweet potato fries was used in this recipe?

I like to use Alexia sweet potato fries in the air fryer. You don’t need to use Alexia – you can use Ore Ida or any other brand. You might need to adjust the cooking time. Just keep an eye on them while they’re cooking.

What brand of air fryer was this recipe tested with?

This recipe was tested using Cosori and Duo Crisp brands of air fryer.

What should I do if the fries aren’t crispy?

Air fry them for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Can I reheat these fries in the air fryer?

Yes, the fries can be reheated by air frying them for 2 to 3 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can I double the quantity?

It depends on the capacity of your air fryer. You just need to make sure that they’re not packed too tight, which can prevent air circulation.

If you need to air fry double the quantity, you can do it in two batches. The second batch may take less time to cook because the air fryer is hot.
