Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Sweet Potato Hash

How To Make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Hash
Step One: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform shapes, about 1/2 inch pieces, the perfect size for sweet potato cubes.
Step Two: Then cut the onions, and bell peppers, into 1/2 inch small pieces. Mix all ingredients into a large bowl, and ensure the sweet potato chunks are well coated.
Step Three: Pour into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set the cooking time for 12-15 minutes. Shake the basket several times during the cooking process. Check for the fork-tender before removing the potatoes. If they need a few more minutes, add 3-4 minutes. As soon as they are fork-tender, remove them.
Step Four: Serving with your favorite dipping sauce or melted butter on top.
