    One of my favorite side dishes to get when we go out to eat is sweet potato fries! Oftentimes though, it's an extra $3 on top of the cost of the meal, so I only opt for the swap when we are living high off the hog 😂. I had tried SO many oven baked recipes for both homemade and frozen sweet potato fries, but I just couldn't get that delicious crispy texture that the restaurant version had.

    Enter the air fryer.

    Um, HELLO! The air fryer transforms basic frozen sweet potatoes into restaurant-quality magical deliciousness. No need to pay an extra $3 for sweet potato fries, when you can buy a bag of frozen for $2 and make an amazing meal at home! This was a game changer for me, and I know it will be for you too!

    And since sweet potato fries are ALWAYS served with curry mayo, I included my recipe for that too! But you can use any dipping sauce you prefer (or none at all).

    Let's get started!

    Ingredients

    A bowl of frozen sweet potato fries and a basket style air fryer.
    • Frozen sweet potato fries: All you need are frozen and prepared sweet potato fries! No additional oil needed, since the fries are prepared with oil.

    Equipment

    You will need an air fryer, of course! I used a Ninja basket style air fryer, but you can use whatever brand you have. Just keep in mind that the cook times may vary based on the make and model of your air fryer. For the best results, check the air fryer frequently to make sure the frozen sweet potato fries are cooking well.

    How to Make Frozen Sweet Potato Fries in an Air Fryer

    How to make frozen sweet potato fries in an air fryer.

    Preheat your air fryer to 360F according to your manufacturers instructions, or for 3 minutes.

    Add your sweet potato fries in an even layer. Be careful not to crowd the basket, and instead work in batches if you need to cook a lot of sweet potato fries.

    Place in the air fryer and cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

    Batch Size

    If you are cooking a small amount of fries, they will be done sooner. It's important to check on your fries to ensure they don't burn! If you are cooking a large batch of fries, they will need to be shaken a few times throughout the cook time, and you will likely have to cook them for a bit longer too. I recommend working in batches if you need to cook a very large amount of frozen sweet potato fries.

    Curry Mayo Recipe

    My favorite dipping sauce for frozen sweet potato fries is curry mayo! Since it's not easy to find in store, I always make my own. Here's a quick recipe for homemade curry mayo:

    • ½ cup real mayonnaise
    • 1 - 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
    • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice

    Whisk the ingredients together until smooth. I like to let mine chill for 30 minutes or so before serving, but that's not a necessary step!
