Notes

Can you cook frozen sweet potatoes in air fryer? Pre made frozen sweet potato fries can be made in the instant pot using the instructions on the bag but subtracting 5-10 minutes from the cooking time. Monitor them every 5-10 minutes or until it's cooked all the way through.
Pick sweet potatoes that are longer and skinny and that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly. 
Don't have an Air Fryer? Bake sweet potatoes in the oven by preheating oven to 400 and placing oiled and pierced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.
