# What You Need:
→ Sweet Potato Fries
01 - 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.3 lbs), peeled and cut into fries
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Onion Dip
07 - 1 cup sour cream
08 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
09 - 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
11 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
12 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
13 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
14 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
15 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
# Directions:
01 - In a large bowl, combine sweet potato fries with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated with seasonings.
02 - Set air fryer to 400°F and allow 3-5 minutes for preheating. Arrange seasoned fries in a single layer in the basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
03 - Air fry for 15-20 minutes total cooking time. Shake the basket at the 8-10 minute mark to ensure even browning. Fries are ready when golden and crispy throughout.
04 - While fries cook, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and light golden in color.
05 - Transfer cooled sautéed onion to a medium bowl. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
06 - Transfer hot sweet potato fries to a serving plate. Place onion dip in a small bowl alongside for dipping. Serve immediately while fries maintain maximum crispness.
