Can You Cook Frozen Sweet Potato Fries In an Air Fryer?

Yes, you can cook frozen sweet potato fries in an air fryer! Just be sure to increase the cooking time by a few minutes.

How to Keep Sweet Potato Fries From Getting Soggy

The key to crisp, delicious sweet potato fries is to make sure they're not crowded in the air fryer basket.

If you have too many fries in the basket, they'll steam instead of fry and you'll end up with soggy sweet potato fries.

So, make sure to cook them in batches if necessary.

Another tip is to let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to crisp up even more. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
