If you’ve never heard of a Mealthy CrispLid before, you’re missing out. I’ve used this crisp lid in a recipe or two already, like my Apple Gouda Grilled Cheese. However, I’ve failed to expound upon how amazing this device really is. Many people own a pressure cooker because it’s been a pretty staple kitchen gadget for decades now.

The Mealthy CrispLid fits over the top of your pressure cooker and turns it into an air fryer. Yeah, it’s that simple; pretty cool, right?? That means you can forget about taking up a ton more room on your counter or in your cabinets to store another appliance. You can make recipes like these Pumpkin Spice Sweet Potato Fries and more, with this device.

Common Questions for CrispLid Pumpkin Spice Sweet Potato Fries

 

How Do You Make Sweet Potato Fries?

 

There are quite a few flavors of sweet potato fries. However, when it comes down to it, the basic way to make sweet potato fries is by peeling and slicing the sweet potatoes and tossing them in olive oil. From there, you can add basic salt and pepper or your own spices and renditions of flavors. You can even turn your fries into sweet potato chips if you prefer! 

 

Are Sweet Potato Fries Better for You Than Regular French Fries?

 

If you’re looking at calorie and carbohydrate content, then sweet potatoes aren’t the better choice. However, sweet potatoes are often the potato of choice because they’re more nutrient-dense than a regular potato. So, in general, it’s all in how you look at it and what your idea of healthier is. If you think better nutrients is the healthier choice, then go with sweet potatoes. If you’re looking for a lower calorie or lower carb option, regular potatoes are better.

 

 

How Bad Are Sweet Potato Fries For You?

 

Sweet potato fries, in general, are not bad for you. However, if fried in oil, any food will become a less than healthy option. Sweet potato fries are a popular food for those with diet restrictions, only if cooked properly. In this recipe specifically, only a touch of healthy oil is used and then the fries are crisped by heated air, not hot oil. This means that sweet potatoes can be a healthy choice if prepared in a healthy manner.

Tips for Making CrispLid Pumpkin Spice Sweet Potato Fries

 

• Be sure to not overlap your fries when cooking them. This will cause them to cook unevenly and they may even turn out soggy. If you’re worried about having to go through a ton of batches, the trivet should hold quite a few fries in each batch.
• If you like a thinner cream cheese sauce, add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency. 
• If you are unsure of what a baton is, simply make sure the fries are no thicker than a fourth of an inch and are basically square all the way around. The length doesn’t matter.
