How to Make Air Fryer Frozen Sweet Potato Waffle Fries

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Fries: Take the frozen sweet potato waffle fries directly from the freezer. No need to thaw them; they can go straight into the air fryer basket.
Place the Fries in the Air Fryer: Spread the fries evenly in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are in a single layer to ensure crispiness.
Cook the Fries: Set cook time for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
Check for Crispiness: Once they are golden and crispy, check that the fries are fork-tender on the inside. If needed, add a couple of extra minutes.
Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the fries from the air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!

How to Make Air Fryer Frozen Sweet Potato Waffle Fries Recipe Tips
- Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: For crispy fries, make sure to arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to ensure even crispiness.
- Shake the Basket: Shake the basket halfway through cooking to allow the fries to cook evenly and prevent sticking.
- Adjust Cook Time for Desired Crispness: Depending on how crispy you like your fries, adjust the cooking time. For extra crispiness, add a few more minutes to the cooking time.
- Use Light Oil Spritz: While frozen sweet potato waffle fries come pre-seasoned, a light spray of oil will help them crisp up even more in the air fryer.
- Pair with Dips: Serve your fries with your favorite dip or sauce like ranch, ketchup, or spicy mayo for extra flavor!
Storing
- Storing: Store leftover Air Fryer Frozen Sweet Potato Waffle Fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure they are completely cooled before storing to maintain their crispiness.
- Freezing: If you want to freeze leftover fries, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. This will help them stay crisp when reheated later.
- Reheating: To reheat, place the fries back in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes at 375°F, shaking halfway through. This will restore their crisp texture, making them taste just like freshly made.
