Why won’t my frozen sweet potato fries get crispy?
I have found that spritzing the sweet potato fries with some oil helps. It can be olive oil, avocado oil, or even regular vegetable oil. It is going to help ensure the outside of the fries gets a crisper texture.

If you prefer to stay away from any oils, that’s fine! Just air fry frozen sweet potato fries a little bit longer. They will become more crispy as they cook. You may need to add an additional 3-5 minutes of cooking time.

Can you store leftover fries?
Sweet potato fries in the air fryer are best when served warm and fresh. You will find they get soggy once they cool down a bit. The nice thing about this recipe is you can cook as little or as many fries as you plan to eat.

If you do end up with leftovers and want to save them, put the fries in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, put them back in the air fryer and cook for 6-8 minutes or until they are hot.

Does This Method Work For Regular Fries
Yes, you can use this same method for cooking classic French fries. Just make sure that you adjust the cooking time to the thickness of the French fries.

Frozen fries are so easy to convert over to the air fryer. You will find you have more of a deep-fried taste and texture without the excess oil. It provides a healthier alternative to fried foods.
