💬 Frequently Asked Questions
If you put too many fries in the basket, it can result in uneven cooking. Only cook half the bag at a time and lay them in the basket so they allow the hot air of the air fryer convection to heat every part of the sweet potato fry and get the perfect crispiness.
Frozen sweet potato fries should already be seasoned, we love the Alexia sweet potato fries, however if you wish to add a little more flavor you can use seasonings such as sea salt, chipotle seasoning or paprika. Any additional seasoning should be added before you cook the sweet potatoes in air fryer.
Sweet potato fries should be okay to refreeze if they are not fully thawed and still have ice crystals on them. When making this recipe, it's advised to use half the bag and then seal them in a bag and put them back into the freezer until it's time to cook the other half.
