My struggle with sweet potato fries is over thanks to the air fryer

After countless fails in the oven, the air fryer finally gave me perfect sweet potato fries.

Seriously! The air fryer's quick, hot air is key for getting that crisp outside while keeping the inside soft. It finally solves the texture problem regular ovens always had with sweet potatoes.

@the_spencer is right, but soaking the fries first really helps with crispiness.

I was at the county fair last fall and this one stand had the best sweet potato fries. They were thick cut and super crispy, but they also had this light dusting of cinnamon sugar on them. It was such a good mix of salty and sweet. I've been trying to copy that at home ever since, but getting that same crunch is tricky.
