How To Make Longhorn Steakhouse Sweet Potato Recipe

Step One: Start by cleaning your sweet potato with cold water, then dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel or paper towel.  Use the olive oil and rub it into the skins, ensuring they are all well coated. Poke a few holes into the sweet potatoes so they don’t explode in the air fryer.

Step Two: Set into the air fryer for 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting. When the potatoes are fork-tender, remove them from the air fryer. Let the sweet potatoes rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings.

• Choose sweet potatoes that are roughly the same size so they have the same cooking time.
• Let your sweet potatoes rest after air frying.

Storing

• Storing: Store leftover Longhorn Steakhouse Sweet Potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to let them cool completely before refrigerating to preserve freshness.
