Using an air fryer is one of the easiest, quickest, and tastiest ways we know to make sweetpotato fries. And our recipe makes them even better, thanks to a secret ingredient—cornstarch. It helps the fries crisp up to a crunchier, munchier texture. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, or try one of ours. (Don’t have an air fryer? Try this recipe using the oven.)
