Healthy and Fun! Sweet potato fries are more dense and sweeter than potato French fries and they make a colorful addition to any dish! Plus, unlike ordinary fries, sweet potato fries are high in fiber and Vitamin A, so you can feel better about eating all you want, right?

So Versatile! Cook up a batch or three because these tasty fries will go fast. Eat them plain or eat them with your favorite dips. Enjoy them as an appetizer, snack or side dish. Check out our suggestions for dips and entrée ideas below!

Time Saving Tips

For best results from your air fryer, always preheat it first. Hot air needs to be able to flow around the food right away so the outside can start to crisp up and seal in the moisture.
Sweet potato fries can be air fried in advance and then re-crisped for just a few minutes if time is short or you’ve got a hungry crowd!
