More sweet potato cube information:
For the best results we recommend you remove the skin of the potato before cutting into cubes. However, you can try leaving the skin on the potato. If you do this you will likely find better results if you do not preheat the air fryer and instead, put them in first, then start heating up the air fryer.
Yes, with care, but they are best served fresh. If you do freeze them, the main thing here is to flash freeze them. After you finish cooking them, quickly get them spread out on a baking sheet and get them in the freezer. Leave them there for two hours, then remove them and place in a freezer bag for continued storage.
You can heat them in the air fryer at 375 degrees for 4-5 minutes or until warmed through.
