I’m a real fan of cooking food from scratch. Firstly, it is usually cheaper. Secondly, it is usually healthier too. These are a winning combination for me and often what motivates me to get off my backside and make something tasty for dinner. While getting a takeaway is a nice treat I don’t always want to feed my family unhealthy food and this is where my airfryer sweet potato fries come in. They are a nice compromise between fried chips and being healthier. My airfryer sweet potato fries take just a few minutes to prepare and they are pretty tasty too.

As you can see it is really simple to make airfryer sweet potato fries thanks to this chipper that I bought. As sweet potatoes are harder than normal white potatoes I did have to cut them up a few times. This meant that in total I spent around 2-3 minutes chipping the potatoes. This is significantly faster than doing them by hand and I was making a LOT of airfryer sweet potato fries. I love the airfryer. You can cook with air only, but I often add a few sprays of oil. Typically I will use no more than 10 sprays of 1 calorie oil. I’m trying to cut back and that stuff is pricey!
