Sweet Potatoes In Air Fryer

If you are hosting a small holiday feast these Air Fried Sweet Potatoes are great. Only because you can only fit 3-4 sweet potatoes in an air fryer.

However, I make Air Fried Sweet Potatoes year round to enjoy with my regular meals or as a snack.

Absolutely. You can cook regular potatoes {Air Fryer Baked Potato Recipe} and sweet potatoes in your air fryer. Just puncture with a fork, rub with a bit of oil and air fry them until tender.
