Sweet & Gold Fries

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.

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.

2

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

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.
