The Crispiest Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

So, I gotta say I have perfected the crispiest sweet potato fries!  These fries have a phenomenal taste, as well!  They are crispy on the outside but still have that mashed potato feel on the inside. 

Since I started making them it seems I never make enough.  My husband and I devour every single one no matter how many potatoes I make.

Cookware for this dish

Here is a list of all the cookware I used when making these super crispy fries!

• large cutting board - to chop up the sweet potatoes. 
• vegetable peeler - to take the skin off your potatoes

Step 2 - Then chop them into julienne cuts. Start off by cutting the potato in half, then take each half and cut that half into strips, then cut the strips into julienne pieces. You want them to be in super thin pieces.
