These were excellent! We added Chipotle seasoning to the blend and soaked cut potatoes a few hours. The first night we served with molasses butter and eat over just plain and still good!Reply

I usually don’t care for sweet potatoes fries because I couldn’t get them crispy. These were crispy and very tasty. This recipe is a keeper.Reply

I made these sweet potato fries and they were amazing. I don’t think that I will ever order them again from a restaurant. I didn’t have cornstarch so I used 1 tbsp of unbleached flour. I made a homemade dill dip to go with and voila.Reply

Hi, can you bake them in an air fryer instead of an oven please?

Yes, you can bake them in an air fryer. Cook sweet potato fries in a few batches until crispy. Don’t forget to shake the basket a few times while cooking.
