Tips from Atelier Airfryer
A tip for better texture
Sweet potato stays softer than potato fries.
Dry the wedges and leave gaps instead of cooking until the paprika turns dark.
Do sweet potatoes need blanching?
Not for these 1.5 cm wedges: cook them directly in the air fryer.
Cut evenly and dry the surface thoroughly; check that the centre is tender with a knife.
This method does not require parboiling.
Adjusting batches
The displayed 22 minutes cover one batch; allow 18–22 minutes at 190 °C depending on your appliance.
The 3-minute preheat is included in preparation time.
If the basket is too small, repeat cooking without stacking the food.
Useful accessory (Amazon affiliate link)
Turn the pieces without scratching the coating using Silicone tongs.
