Ingredients
- Alexia Sweet Potato Fries - These can be found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. This recipe is for the 20 ounce (1.25 lb.) bag. Alexia sweet potato fries are not labeled as being gluten free on the package, but they also are not listing any ingredients that contain gluten. If need these to be gluten free, then double check your bag so that you can decide for yourself!
- Mayonnaise - My #1 choice is always Hellman's Low-Fat Mayo.
- Dijon mustard - The Dijon that I used for this recipe was on the savory side. Some Dijon mustards can be sweet. Take note of whether or not your Dijon is sweet so that you can adjust the honey if needed.
- Grey Poupon Harvest Course Ground Mustard - Grey Poupon makes a few different types of mustard. Make sure you choose the Harvest Course Ground variety.
- Honey - A nice, high quality honey is always great to have on hand! Look for a local honey if you can find it!
- Apple cider vinegar - Apple cider vinegar is also known as cider vinegar. It is made from fermented apple juice.
- Salt, garlic powder & paprika
*See recipe card for quantities.
Kitchen equipment
- Air fryer - This is obvious since this is an air fryer recipe. Here is the air fryer that I currently use. So far I love it! We have a big family so I knew I needed a bigger unit (6 quarts). It's easy to clean and is doing it's job!
- Small mixing bowl
- Measuring cups & measuring spoons
Step-by-step instructions
- Make the honey mustard dip. In a small mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Grey Poupon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, garlic powder and paprika. Whisk together until smooth and set aside.
- Preheat your air fryer if necessary. Some models require preheating and some do not. Dump the entire bag of sweet potato fries into the bottom of the air fryer basket. Air fry the sweet potato fries at 400°F for 8 minutes.
- Pull the basket out of the air fryer, give the fries a good shake to move them around and then cook them for another 8 minutes at 400°F.
- Remove the fries from the air fryer. Season generously with sea salt and serve them alongside the honey mustard dip!
*See recipe card for detailed printable instructions.
Hint: Make sure to use the correct Grey Poupon mustard! They make a few different kinds. I specifically used the Harvest Course Ground Mustard in this recipe.
Substitutions
- Dips - If you don't care for honey mustard, or simply don't want to make it, try a different dip instead! Ketchup, yellow mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch or garlic aioli would all be delicious.
- Sweetener - Instead of using honey to sweeten the honey mustard dip, you could try maple syrup instead.
- Vegan - If you would like this recipe to be vegan, then swap the mayonnaise for Follow Your Heart Vegenaise and the honey for maple syrup.
Variations
- Spicy - Season the sweet potato fries with cayenne or chili powder!
- Sweet - Sprinkle a cinnamon sugar blend on the fries.
- Loaded - Turn your plate of sweet potato fries into nachos! Top them with sliced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa and jalapeno peppers.
Storage
Sweet potato fries made in the air fryer will stay crispy and delicious for a while after they're done cooking. Typically fries don't hold up very well as leftovers though so I wouldn't make these ahead of time or save them for later.

Expert tips
- Some air fryers require you to preheat the air fryer first. Typically, you will preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at the same temperature that you will be cooking at. So for this recipe, I preheated my air fryer for 3 minutes at 400°F. This is especially important if your air fryer is cold when you are starting.
- Every time I have made these sweet potato fries, 16 minutes total has been the perfect amount of time to get them (slightly) brown and crispy. Not all air fryers are the same though! If you know that your air fryer tends to run hotter than others, then check the fries a little early.
- The Alexia packaging says that these are already salted. I felt they really needed EXTRA salt though!
