FAQ's
Don't cut your sweet potato wedges to thick or they won't get crispy.
Soaking the potatoes will help them get crispy around the edges. It removes the excess starch and they will get crispy easier.
To slice into wedges, start by slicing the potato in half. Then cut each half into 2-3 wedges.
Storage
Refrigerate - Store leftover sweet potato wedges in an airtight container, up to four days.
Reheat - These are best when re-heated or crisp'd up in the air fryer or the oven.

They were so easy and so good good I knew this would be a recipe you'd enjoy also!
I think potatoes get a bad rap - both white and sweet potatoes are nutritious, albeit white potatoes are higher in carbs they have taken a beating in recent years with the low carb craze.
My Dad has taught me, no matter what it is - portion size is key!
Portion control is especially hard when the tatters are this good! 😀 These are super simple and here's the recipe!
