Recipe Tips
- To get the sweet potato fries as crispy as possible, you will need to coat them in some cornstarch. Roughly one tablespoon should be more than enough.
- Make sure you do not overcrowd the air fryer too much, as it will result in soggy fries. If you are cooking for a crowd, you may need to do multiple batches.
- The olive oil is optional and can be swapped for something with more flavor. For example, bacon fat will work really well.
- Soaking the sweet potatoes is optional, but it does help increase the chances the sweet potato will crisp. If you do not mind soggy fries, simply skip this step.
