Fries are hands down one of the best potato creations out there—so versatile, they can be enjoyed alone or alongside a tender burger, crispy chicken nuggets, or even topped with chili and cheese. You really can’t go wrong with homemade sweet potato fries. Their slight sweetness, paired with a sprinkle of salt, makes for a seriously delicious treat that keeps you reaching for more.
Ingredient Notes
- Sweet Potatoes: Choose medium-sized fresh sweet potatoes that are all roughly the same size.
- Cooking Oil: We like to use olive oil, but you can also use avocado, canola or vegetable oil.
- Kosher Salt: Offers more of a crunch from the larger pieces of salt. Regular table salt or sea salt can be used as well.
Add Toppings
Feel free to experiment with different toppings for added flavor. Turn your sweet potato fries into garlic fries with a bit of minced garlic and rosemary. Top with some shredded cheese the last few minutes of cooking for some ooey, gooeyness. For a zesty, bold flavor, try sprinkling some cajun seasoning on your fries for a kick that’ll make your taste buds dance. You can use a combination of dried herbs, oils, and spices for a unique flavor experience.
Storage & Reheating Instructions

Freeze leftover portions in an airtight container or resealable plastic freezer bag. Cook from frozen and adjust cooking time as needed.
Reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy.
I love sweet potato fries, but expensive to buy. Now I can make my own and I’m sure this are a lot better than buying, since they are homemade and recipe from my favorite chef!
