Notes
- Cut them evenly. This will help them to cook evenly and faster in your air fryer.
- You will need a sharp knife to cut the sweet potatoes since these are a little harder in texture than potatoes (denser than potatoes).
- Preheat the air fryer. Though it's not compulsory and many brands say it's not required, it's easier to track the timing while making fries.
- Shake the basket every 4 minutes. This ensures even-cooking and faster cooking of the fries. They may get burnt if left untouched in the basket for too long.
