Air-Fried Purple Yam Fries with Sour Cream Sriracha Sauce

by

Description

Purple yams are tossed in sriracha salt and olive oil then air-fried until crispy. A simple combination of cool sour cream and sriracha complements the sweet yam. The procedure for cooking yams in an air fryer is different than cooking potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ pounds ube (purple yam), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick fries
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha-flavored salt
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C).
  2. Place yam fries into a bowl. Add olive oil and sriracha-flavored salt; toss to coat evenly. Pour into the air fryer basket.
  3. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 16 minutes. Increase heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Shake basket and cook for 5 minutes more.
  4. Mix sour cream and sriracha sauce together in a bowl. Serve alongside yam fries.
