NOTES:

When choosing sweet potatoes, find firm potatoes with smooth skin. Try and find sweet potatoes that are similar in size too.
If using larger sweet potatoes, they may need more air frying time. If using smaller potatoes, they will need less time. It’s important they are similar in size so they can be done cooking at the same time.
Wash and gently scrub the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt or debris. Then dry them with a paper towel.
Don’t skip piercing the potatoes with a fork. This allows the steam inside to leave the potatoes, and will help them cook more evenly.
