Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb orange-fleshed sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick fries
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt divided

Method
 

  1. Towel-dry fries. Toss with cornstarch to leave a thin dusting, then oil and paprika.
  2. Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes. Spread half the fries in a loose single layer, leaving air gaps between most.
  3. Air fry 8 minutes; gently shake and cook 6 to 9 minutes more until tender inside and edges browned. Remove narrow fries early if darkening faster.
  4. Transfer loosely to a plate; add half the salt. Repeat with remaining fries and salt.
  5. Serve 4 side portions immediately; refresh first batch in empty hot basket for 1 minute if needed.
