NOTES
1. - Sweet potatoes - In this recipe, the sweet potatoes are peeled, but you can also bake them unpeeled. Then scrub them well. It is very important that the sweet potato fries are the same size and thickness. Then they are cooked at the same time.
2. - Shake and divide - Shake the potatoes well when baking in the air fryer. This makes them crispy. If you bake them in the oven, spread them evenly on the baking tray. If they stick together, they will become soft instead of crispy.
3. - Cornflour - Add cornflour to ensure that the fries become crispy.
4. - Good with - These sweet potato fries are delicious with crispy chicken nuggets with Parmesan, sweet spare ribs with BBQ sauce, and steak chimichurri.
5. - Storage
Frozen - You can keep the fries in the freezer. Let them cool and freeze them. Defrost in the refrigerator and bake them in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) again, warm and crispy.
