Sweet potato fries in the air fryer

Air fry sweet potato fries at 390°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. That is for fresh cut, in a preheated basket air fryer; the calculator above fits it to your weight, your air fryer and how you like it. Shake the basket halfway, so every piece crisps.

Questions

What temperature should I air fry sweet potato fries at?

390°F (200°C) for fresh cut, for 12 to 15 minutes. Pick another cut in the calculator and the heat and time follow it.

Should I shake the basket?

Yes, halfway through, so every piece crisps evenly. Start the timer and it tells you when.

How do I check sweet potato fries for doneness?

When it is golden at the edges and tender inside. Start checking at the low end of the time.

How much can I cook at once?

One layer, with a little room between the pieces, so the hot air reaches them all. Piled higher, food steams instead of crisping; the calculator splits a bigger amount into batches.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

These times assume a preheated air fryer, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes. From cold, choose "No, from cold" and 3 minutes are added.
