My airfryer sweet potato fries take just a few minutes to prepare and they are pretty tasty too. If you want to try something extra naughty and tasty then my air fryer cheese chips are always a hit!

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 all the time and this is where my airfryer sweet potato fries come in. They are a nice compromise between fried chips and being healthier.

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!

Method for airfryer sweet potato fries

Chip potatoes (I don’t peel them first)

Season well with salt & pepper, spray on a few sprays of spray oil, or 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
