FAQ’s about Air Frying Sweet Potatoes?

Why do you soak sweet potatoes in water before air frying?

Soaking sweet potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking removes excess starch. This helps improve the texture of the sweet potatoes, making them crispier when air-fried.

What is the trick to getting things extra crispy with an air fryer?

There are 3 things you can try to get extra crispy sweet potatoes: 

1. Soak the diced or cut sweet potatoes beforehand for at least 30 minutes in cold water.

2. Don’t overlap the fries or diced potatoes while cooking. This will ensure even air flow and cooking for each potato.

3. During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to bump up the heat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius and spray with additional oil for extra crispy fries.

What temp should a sweet potato be cooked to?

Baked sweet potatoes are done when they are tender with a fork or when they reach an internal temperature between 205 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit (or 96-100 degrees Celsius).

Pro tip: Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the sweet potato.
