Components
- 1 massive or 2 small/medium candy potatoes about 1 pound
- 2 teaspoons additional virgin olive oil*
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus further for serving
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon floor black pepper
- Chopped recent chives
Directions
-
Scrub the candy potatoes and peel if desired (I depart the peels on). Minimize the candy potatoes in half lengthwise. Flip the halves cut-side down onto your reducing board, the slice every half lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips (a mandoline is one of the best ways to get even fries; watch your fingers!).
-
Flip the strips on their sides and lower every into 1/4-inch sticks. If the sticks are lengthy, slice them in half crosswise in order that your fries are about 3 to 4 inches. Switch the fries to a big mixing bowl.
-
To maintain the fries heat between batches, preheat the oven to 200°F and maintain a baking sheet useful.
-
Drizzle the candy potato fries with the oil and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat, ensuring the spices and oil are effectively distributed.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F in response to the producer’s directions. (For my air fryer, that’s 3 minutes of preheat time).
FOR SOMEWHAT CRISPY, HIGHLY SATISFYING SWEET POTATO FRIES IN FEWER BATCHES:
-
Place the potatoes within the air fryer basket, doing not more than two layers (my air fryer is 5 ½ quarts and I can add about ⅓ of the fries). Make certain the fries have loads of room in order that the air can flow into. Prepare dinner the candy potato fries for five minutes.
-
Slide the basket out and use tongs to toss. Return to the air fryer and proceed cooking for five to 7 further minutes, till browned on the edges and crispy. The time can fluctuate by a number of minutes based mostly in your air fryer mannequin and the way accomplished you want your fries. Verify typically throughout the previous couple of minutes to ensure the fries don’t burn.
FOR SUPER CRISPY SWEET POTATO FRIES IN MORE BATCHES:
-
Place the candy potatoes in only one layer within the basket, being cautious that they don’t overlap. Prepare dinner for 4 minutes, slide the basket out and flip, then proceed cooking for 4 to eight further minutes, till the fries are as crispy as you prefer to (once more, the time will fluctuate based mostly in your mannequin, so verify them a number of occasions and regulate as wanted).
-
Take away the candy potato fries to a baking sheet or a serving plate and instantly sprinkle with an extra pinch of kosher salt. Repeat with remaining candy potatoes, maintaining the cooked fries heat within the oven between batches as desired. High with chives and revel in!

Notes
- *You may make the candy potato fries with no oil in case you favor, however they won’t be as crisp. Remember to coat the fryer basket very effectively with nonstick spray.
- Within the recipe video, I’m making a curry variation with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon curry powder.
- TO STORE:Â Refrigerate leftover candy potato fries in an hermetic container for as much as 3 days.
- TO REHEAT: For the very best outcomes, rewarm leftover fries within the air fryer at 375°F or in a 400°F oven (I prefer to preheat the pan within the oven whereas it warms up); unfold the fries in a single layer on the new pan and recrisp. Air fryer fries reheat higher than common fries, for the reason that lesser quantity of oil inherently prevents them from getting soggy.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze fries in a single layer on a baking sheet till strong. Switch to an hermetic container or ziptop bag and freeze for as much as 3 months. Reheat straight from frozen.
