    Why write a post about making air fryer frozen sweet potato fries, you might ask?

    None of the packages I bought had air fryer instructions; they only mentioned deep frying or baking. One bag had a small note saying, "Read the air fryer's instructions for cooking times." But most brands didn't mention it at all. So, why not create a post with clear instructions? I'm sure many would appreciate having them in one place.

    • Air Fryer Frozen Sweet Potato Fries

    Recipe ingredients

    Frozen fries: Use your favorite brand. A regular bag usually contains 1 lb/ 450 g potatoes. If you want to cook more, you can add up to 3.5 oz/ 150 g more to the basket. If your bag is larger or you want to cook more, do that in batches.

    How to air fry frozen sweet potatoes?

    • Step #1: Preheat the machine, place the frozen fries in the basket, and shake lightly to make sure that they are in an even layer. Air fry them for 8 minutes.
    • Step #2: Shake the basket and cook for another 4 minutes. Check; they should be soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. If they are not there yet, you can give them another minute or two. However, mine are always perfect after 12 minutes already.

    Good to know!

    Most brands are pre-seasoned with salt and pepper and sometimes paprika powder. If they are not, add some seasoning to the potatoes.

    If you cook more than 1 lb/ 450 g at a time, they might need an extra minute or two.

    Recipe FAQ

    Can you reheat sweet potato fries?

    Yes, of course. Although they are best served immediately, you can reheat them at 375ยฐF/ 190ยฐC for 2-3 minutes.
