Sweet & Gold Fries

Sweet & Gold Fries

stockpot Base
Keep on hand

Crispy air fryer fries made with a mix of sweet potato and regular potato, seasoned with the Fuel 7-Spice Blend. The sweet potato brings vitamin A and fiber while the regular potato adds potassium and fast-digesting starch. Use as a side with the Smash Burger, Baked Chicken Strips, or any recovery meal that needs extra carbs.

Ingredients

Fries

1 medium sweet potato, cut into even sticks
1 large russet potato, cut into even sticks (slightly thicker than the sweet potato)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp Fuel 7-Spice Blend
Pinch of sea salt

Spicy Mayo Dip

3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp sriracha
1/2 tsp lime juice
Notes

Soaking the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking draws out extra starch and makes them crispier, but it is optional if you are short on time. Cut the regular potatoes slightly thicker than the sweet potatoes since sweet potato burns faster from natural sugars - this way they finish at the same time. Do not overcrowd the basket - cook in two batches if needed.

Instructions
1

Cut the sweet potato into sticks about 1 cm thick. Cut the russet potato into sticks slightly thicker, about 1.5 cm. Keeping them even is key - uneven fries mean some burn while others stay soft.

1 medium sweet potato
1 large russet potato
2

Toss both potatoes with olive oil, Fuel 7-Spice Blend, and salt in a bowl until evenly coated.

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp Fuel 7-Spice Blend
Pinch of sea salt
3

Preheat the air fryer to 400F (200C).

4

Spread the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd - cook in two batches if needed. Overcrowding steams them instead of crisping.

5

Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy on the outside and soft inside.

6
Spicy Mayo Dip

While the fries cook, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust sriracha to taste.

3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp sriracha
