The best frozen sweet potato fries and the best way to cook them is in the air fryer! Crispy sweet potato fries are the perfect side dish for a busy weeknight meal or an appetizer on game day. Air frying is healthier than deep frying with the same delicious results. Alexia fries are my personal preference when making frozen french fries at home because they are easier than homemade fries and the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
Serve frozen sweet potato fries as a delicious side dish with any of these 30-minute meals for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients
- Alexia Sweet Potato Frozen Fries
- Sea Salt (optional)
- Favorite Dipping Sauce (optional)
Air Fry Range Instructions
Start by selecting the air fry setting on your range and setting it to 400° Allow the range to preheat for a few minutes. Next, arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the air fry basket or tray. For best results, you'll want the fries on a rack so that the hot air can circulate around them evenly allowing them to crisp up nicely.
Air fry for 16-18 minutes. Flip or shake the basket halfway through the cooking time. This method is best when cooking for the whole family. This cooking process removes the need for excess oil and eliminated the need for a deep fryer altogether making them a much healthier easy side dish.
Traditional Baking Instructions
If you don't yet have a full-size range with the air fry feature follow the simple steps on the package instructions. Preheat the oven to 425°. Arrange frozen sweet potato fries in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 20-25 minutes for the whole bag or 10-12 minutes for half of the bag. Stir or flip halfway through the cooking time. Remove when the fries are to your desired crispness.
Countertop Air Fryer Instructions
In a small countertop appliance like the Instant Pot Vortex Plus, you may only be able to fit one serving in the air frying basket at a time. Working in batches air fry at 400° for 12-15 minutes shaking the basket every 4-5 minutes or until the fries are crispy. If recommended by the manufacturer spray the tray or basket with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Variations
- Spicy-Season with red pepper flakes or smokey paprika
- Delux-Season with garlic powder, black pepper, and pink Hymilliain sea salt.
What Dipping Sauce To Serve With Sweet Potato Fries
- Ranch Dip
- Barbecue Sauce
- Fry Sauce
- Spicy Ketchup
- Spicy Mayo

Air frying times and temperatures may vary by product.
Equipment
This recipe is intended explicitly for full-size ovens with the air fry feature like the Frigidaire Air Fry Range I own. The cook times and temperatures for the range with air fry may vary from smaller countertop air fryers. Follow the recipes below for complete instructions. For small air fryers cooking time and temperatures may need to be adjusted. For the full review of the Frigidaire Air Fry Range please go here.
To successfully make crispy fries you will need a ReadyCook Air Fry Tray or an alternative air frying tray or basket. As well as a drip pan like this underneath the basket to prevent any crumbs or oil from leaking onto the bottom of the oven. If grease or debris drips onto the heating element or the bottom of the range you may experience a lot of smoke when air frying.

Storage
Leftover sweet potato fries don't typically store well, I recommend serving and enjoying them immediately after air frying. If leftover fries are stored in an airtight container they will become soggy fries. To reheat fries in the air fryer place them back on the air fry tray at 350° for 8-10 minutes until they are crispy again. Results may not be as when they were prepared initially.
Top tip
When air frying anything in a full-size range for the first time I always recommend keeping an eye on it. Keep a notebook handy to record the times and temperatures that worked best for your foods and when preparing meat always use a meat thermometer like this.
Foods closer to the outside of the air frying basket may cook faster than the middle. Rotate the food as necessary to prevent your food from burning. It is recommended to place the air frying tray in the third position down from the bottom of the range.
Air frying in a small appliance may take less time per batch but overall being able to prepare enough for a family all at one time is more convenient in the full-size air fry range.
