The easiest way to cook sweet potato fries is to cook them from frozen. Typically we just buy them in already prepacked and frozen bags in the Frozen food isle in the supermarket.You can find frozen fries in a large family size bag or smaller ones for just two people. I have a family of four and a 20 oz bag is good enough as a dinner side dish.

Cook it from frozen

As for me, this is the best and mess free way to cook sweet potato fries. Air fryer is just the best kitchen tool to cook anything from frozen!

Temperature and cooking time

After i cooked fries in my house for a few times, i developed a perfect temperature/time combo. Always cook frozen potato fries at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no reason to cook them at lower temperature. First 15 minutes are essential and then you need to look if they need more time to crisp properly. It all depend on the brand of the air fryer you are using and the thickness of the fries.

If you are using a store bought bag of fries and they only have oven cooking instructions, reduce that time by time by half for air fryer and check your sweet fries sometimes

Freeze you own sweet potato fries

Making your very own frozen fries is easy. You will need to cut sweet potatoes with a special fries cutter or by hand. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay fries on it in a single layer, not touching each other. Place in the freezer until hard, couple hours. After that you can throw them in the freezer zip lock bag and keep in the freezer for a few months.

This is a good way to safe sweet potatoes when you just have a lot of them. Or buy them in bulk when on sale.

Can you reheat sweet potatoes in air fryer

If you have leftovers the next day, its easy to reheat them right in the same air fryer basket. 400 degrees Fahrenheit for couple minutes should be fine. It will make them crisp and crunchy again.

Recipe tips and tricks

Making sweet potato fries in the air fryer is much healthier than deep frying. They are healthy and nutritious. Here are some tips for the best fries:

  • It very important to not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Air needs to flow between chips to cook properly.
  • Spray some oil on the fries during cooking to help them get crispy faster
  • Store leftovers in air tight container. They will still be soggy when you will be ready to reheat them, but air fryer will make them crispy again.
  • Keep sweet potato fries frozen and don’t defrost them.
