French fries - or French fries - are super tasty, but not necessarily healthy. They usually contain a lot of salt and fat, so you may not eat them as often as you'd like. Fortunately, it is very easy to make your own fresh sweet potato fries. Because you fry it in the airfryer or oven , it is much less greasy than the fries from the snack bar or from the freezer, and you can completely control the amount salt .

Frying sweet potato fries crispy can be tricky, though. The important thing is not to cut the fries too thick and not to fry too much at once in the airfryer. This can cause the sweet potato fries to steam and make them a bit limp instead of nice and crispy. They are then still very tasty, only you need a little more imagination to see it as a good alternative to regular fries or French fries.
