What Do Sweet Potato Fries Taste Like?

Sweet potato fries have both a savory and sweet flavor. They are similar to white potatoes because they’re starchy but have a higher sugar content, so they’ll be much sweeter. Some people don’t enjoy sweet potato fries as they can have a mushy texture and leave a grainy feeling in the mouth. However, when cooked well, they should have a crispy, even slightly sticky outside with a tender center and have a deliciously sweet, caramelized flavor that blends perfectly with the savory potato.

What Can I Serve With Sweet Potato Fries?

Sweet potato fries can be served alongside anything you’d serve regular fries with. Burgers and chicken fingers are popular choices, but sweet potato fries can pair nicely with almost any dish, like baked chicken or pork chops.

What’s the Best Dipping Sauce for Sweet Potato Fries?

The best sauce for sweet potato fries is the one you like the best! Some people prefer plain old ketchup, but we find bbq sauce (especially if it’s a bit smokey in flavor) to be delicious. We also love mayonnaise-based aioli with garlic flavor or even something spicy, like aioli with lime and chili powder. Another great option is guacamole. Try whatever you have in your fridge, and you’re likely to discover that well-cooked sweet potato fries taste great no matter how you serve them!

How To Make Air Fryer Frozen Sweet Potato Fries

STEP ONE: Prep the sweet potato fries. Place the sweet potato fries onto the air fryer rack in a single layer.

STEP TWO: Air Fry. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Bake the sweet potato fries for 6 minutes. Use a flipper to turn them over and continue cooking for an additional 6-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

STEP THREE: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes and Helpful Hints:

• Leave space between your sweet potatoes so all sides can get evenly golden brown and crispy.
• Season your sweet potato fries before cooking by lightly spraying them with cooking oil, then sprinkling them with your favorite seasoning.
• If you need to cook more than one batch of fries, keep these hot by placing them in a serving dish covered with foil.

In the fridge – Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed food storage container or covered in plastic wrap for up to 3 days.

In the freezer – You won’t want to re-freeze these air fryer frozen sweet potato fries. They won’t thaw very well and will have an undesirable texture.

How to reheat – Reheat by placing back in the air fryer at 360 for 6-7 minutes. You can also microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but they will have a softer consistency.
