I can't begin to tell you how many batches of air fryer sweet potato fries that have come out soft, under cooked, over cooked, and even when they were cooked perfectly, they weren't crunchy! I almost gave up, but decided to try one more thing and that worked! Crispy sweet potato fries in an air fryer is possible! 👇👇👇 CLICK FOR RECIPE & DETAILS 👇👇👇

That’s a great idea! Cornstarch makes air frying chicken wings nice and crisp, so why not sweet potato fries. I’m going to get a couple sweet potatoes today. Thanks!💕

Please let me know how they turn out for you! I was pretty excited at how good they are and I hope everyone else has the same outcome!

THANK YOU!!! Tried this tonight with white potato wedges that I had soaked & dried. Everything else was the same. For the first time, they were crispy! We loved them. When my daughter comes over, we'll do it again with the sweet potatoes.

WoW Louise. What a great recipe. This was the first time I ever used the air fryer. They turned out great. I cooked them at 350 for 20 minutes. Now I wish I had made a bigger batch.

@jennigee51 Жыл бұрын

Corn starch also makes the most amazing and crunchy roast potatoes, my daughter made me a roast dinner yesterday, and put a teaspoon of corn starch into the drained potatoes before putting them into the oil, they were the best I’ve ever had in my 71 years! I imagine you could do that with ordinary fries.

I'll have to try this! I have an air fryer with a rotating basket on a spit, so you can fry a lot more volume at once and don't have to flip anything since it does it all for you. I'd definitely recommend that feature if someone is looking to buy an air fryer.

@ronaldsahn9649 Жыл бұрын

If you air fry them half done and let them set and cool then finish air frying them would that make them more crispy, because the moisture would steam off ? Great idea with the cornstarch. I'll try that one regular fries.

@TheSaltedPepper Жыл бұрын

I haven't tried that, but it makes perfect sense. Just make sure you cook them long enough to start to crisp up. I'd start with going 3/4 of the way done and see how that works.

@urbanbeachbum2148 Жыл бұрын

I’ve made several of your recipes and love them! I started as a ninja newbie with your videos. My only epic fail was your cheesy hamburger rice. Apparently my rice wasn’t parboiled. Oops…it cooked, but barely, so I added more liquid. Then I learned that when you say air crisp that’s air fry, not steam and crisp. Oops…more liquid loss which I stopped after the kitchen was becoming a sauna. With rescues it still tasted good (minus the layer glued to the bottom of the pan). You’re my kitchen hero! 😎

I've only had my Ninja for a few weeks. I used to cook whole roasted sweet potatoes in the conventional oven, and they were only okay, like you say, a bit floppy. So I thought I'd give it a try in my Ninja.....wow! Literally just rubbed a small amount of oil around them and set Ninja on air crisp and they were lovely. I had no idea how long to cook them for, but they were only small, so I guessed. Will be trying these! Great idea for batch cooking.

I am not thrilled with the results of air frying in the XL oven. I love the oven and use it all the time, but not usually for air frying. The results are just not as good. If you want to give it a try, I would increase the temperature to 425℉ and keep an eye on them. Let me know how it goes!
