Frequently Asked Questions

Why cornstarch?+

A light coating of cornstarch is the secret to truly crispy sweet potato fries — it wicks moisture and creates a crackly exterior.

Can I skip soaking?+

You can, but the fries will be softer. Soaking pulls out starch that makes them gummy.

How do I store leftovers?+

Store in the fridge up to 3 days and re-crisp in the air fryer at 375°F for 3 minutes.
