Ingredient Notes
- Alexia® Sweet Potato Fries With Sea Salt - These sweet potato fries are a top pick for us, containing no artificial ingredients, no GMOs and a crispy delicious flavor.
- I use Hellman's mayo as my staple. Duke's mayo will also work but do not use a sweet mayo such as Miracle Whip.
- Prosciutto can be found at your local grocer. It can be found in some deli areas and also in the specialty packaged meat section. Prosciutto is an Italian ham made from the hind legs of the pigs. It is salty and so flavorful!

Expert Cooking Tips
- Every air fryer cooks slightly different. Be sure to keep an eye on your Alexia® Sweet Potato Fries in the air fryer, there's a fine line between crispy sweet potato fries and burnt fries.
- Cook fries from frozen, not thawed.
- Do not make frozen fries in the air fryer until you are ready to serve. They are best served hot and fresh.
