Notes
- Be sure to use medium-sized sweet potatoes for this recipe! If you use large ones they will need a longer cook time.
- Don't forget to poke holes in the potatoes! As they cook, steam will build up inside the potato and if it doesn't have a way to escape the potato could explode - eek!
- Don't wrap your potatoes in foil. I've seen this for oven versions and it's a no-no for the air fryer. The skin won't get crispy!
- Use tongs to remove the potatoes from the air fryer - probably goes without saying, but they will be hot!
- You can eat the skin! It's packed with fiber and potassium for added nutrition.
