I like eating sweet potato fries but I had always made them in the oven which never led to a crisp fry. I tend to season with strange things like zatar or herbs so although they are always tasty, they are never crunchy like a true deep fryer can make them. Last xmas, DH bought what he thought was an air fryer but was really a pressure cooker. He didn’t give it to me in front of the kids because he didn’t want to be “that guy” who gave his new wife an appliance for her first married xmas. I didn’t have time to open and inspect because we were leaving for AU but upon returning 5 months later, I discovered it was a pressure cooker. I ended up selling the brand new appliance for half price just to move it out of the house. The day after T-day, we decided to get a combo air fryer and toaster oven so we could get rid of both our toaster and toaster oven. Overnight delivery is a modern miracle so I was excited to make the first batch of sweet potato fries that were hot crispy with no oil. I can’t wait to air fry some more!!
