We follow a starch based food plan which means we get to eat a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes. That is why I am frequently experimenting with different ways to eat sweet potatoes. My favorites are Japanese Sweet Potatoes and Hannah Yams. Today I am excited to share a couple different ways we enjoy these amazingly delicious sweet potatoes.
I wish you could all come over and share this Sweet Potato Apple Fritter with me!
Although this is quite easy to make I thought you might enjoy seeing a video of me making it. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Japanese Sweet Potatoes and Hannah Yams are perfectly lovely simply baked in the oven. In fact they are a regular part of our weekly Batch Cooking. I usually eat one sweet potato a day and never tire of them. I wanted to make a dessert one night and when I looked around at what I had to make something with I came up with this combination that we have enjoyed many times. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer crisps up the sweet potato skin and the banana and apple cook a little, the cinnamon or gingerbread spice adds a lovely flavor and makes the kitchen smell divine. To guild the lily a drizzle of California Balsamic Pomegranate Balsamic vinegar is a nice touch. Any flavor of Balsamic vinegar will work here – pick one of your favorites – I like the fruit flavors for this recipe. If you decide to order from California Balsamic use the code Nutmeg Notebook in the message box on the check out page and enter in the names of two vinegar flavors you would like to try and they will include 2 sample size bottles with your order!
I make these air fried Japanese Sweet Potatoes and Hannah Yams all the time in the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. It’s wonderful on top of a Chopped Salad. It can be a side dish at lunch or dinner topped with some Taco Lentils or BBQ Lentils, Red Lentil Chili or with a veggie burger and corn on the cob. Simply sprinkled with cinnamon you have dessert! That is a Holland Bowl Mill wood plate in the above photo. Check out all of their beautiful hand crafted products using our affiliate link Holland Bowl Mill.
Today I used California Balsamic Pomegranate Vinegar. See my blog post all about California Balsamic and see how to get your 2 free sample size bottles with your order! Local Spicery has amazing freshly milled and hand blended spices. You can order from them on line or visit one of their stores. For this recipe I like the cinnamon and the Gingerbread spice blend.

Sweet Potato Apple Fritter
1 Japanese Sweet Potato or Hannah Yam baked cold from the fridge
1 ripe banana – sliced
1 apple cored and sliced
Cinnamon or gingerbread spice
Use a cold baked sweet potato from the fridge. Cut it in half and using the palm of your flatten the potato half – repeat for both halves. Next cover the potato halves with banana slices, then a layer of apple slices. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon or ginger bread spice. Place each half on the air frying rack. Place in a cold air fryer set to 400 degrees for approximately 18 minutes – check it at 15 and watch closely so the apples don’t get too done. Serve warm or chilled. Delicious! It reminds me of an apple fritter!

Air Fried Scored Sweet Potato
1 sweet potato of your choice, Garnet, Japanese or Hannah
Cinnamon if desired
Take a prebaked sweet potato cold from the fridge. Cut it in half and then score it crosswise. Place on air fryer rack and place in a cold air fryer set to 400 degrees for 20 minutes. How long it takes to get brown will depend on the size of the potato and how much moisture it has. Check on it around 15 minutes and watch closely – remove it when it’s lightly brown and the skin is crispy.

Where can I purchase the air fryer pan liners for my Breville?
Thank you!
Hi Janet,
Look up above in the blog post where you left this comment – under the video is an Amazon link for the grill mats – we cut them to fit the Breville air fry racks.

Where do you buy Hannah yams?
Hi Rhonda,
I buy them at Whole Foods.

Will this recipe work if I’ve cooked my sweets in the Instant Pot?
Hi Janet,
I don’t know because I always cook my sweet potatoes in the oven. Give it a try and see – consider it a little experiment! I am thinking the sweet potatoes cooked in the IP are going to be much softer but since I haven’t tried it I can’t say for sure how it will turn out.
Let me know how it works,
Happy Cooking,
Tami
I am trying to decide between a Holland Bowl and the Breville Air Fryer.
Hi Joann,
That is a tough decision! I do use both of them every day. Chopped salads are more important to me than air frying I guess because I eat a chopped salad every day for lunch and I love my salads chopped so much more than a regular salad. So if I had to choose one I would choose the bowl and save for the Breville!
Happy Cooking,
Tami
Yes, that is what I had been thinking, also. I want to incorporate more greens and vegetables into my meals so I will go with your recommendation. Thank you.
Hello! How would I make sweet potato fries in my BSOA?
Hi Bobbie,
In our experience it works best to use cold already baked potatoes. Bake them how you normally would and refrigerate them. When cold cut them into fri shapes – steak fries size seems to work best then put in the air fryer set at 400 degrees and watch them – set the timer for 20 mintues but it might take longer than that depending on the size and how much moisture they have.
Happy Cooking,
Tami
Where do you buy Hannah yams? I am in southern California. I look for them wherever I shop but can’t find them. You and Chef AF talk about them and I would love to try them, even if I have to buy online.
My Whole Foods sells them they always have a big pile of them!
Thank you Tami. I went to Whole Foods today and found them. I am going to try them tomorrow. I will try your air fried recipe.
Enjoy! They are so yummy!
What function of Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is the very one to use to make sweet potato chips? And how long should I cook?

I just purchased a Breville Joule Air Fryer and am so excited to get going!. I am trying lattice sweet potato chips right now!. To small batch bake potatoes in the Breville on the bake setting, do you use a quarter sheet pan with a silpat liner? Also how many racks/which levels do you bake them on. I am not totally plant based, so I do not need to cook them in my big convection oven. I was just watching your batch baking video with potatoes and winter squash and you mentioned that you did your Yukon Gold potaotoes in the Breville, it looked like more than one tray full… Thanks so much!
Hi Beth,
I use a 10 x 15 jelly roll pan from OXO in the Breville lined with parchment paper. I use the bake setting for baking my potatoes so use the level as indicated on your glass door for baking. I set the temperature to 400 degrees – no convection just regular conventional bake and how long depends on how big the potatoes are. They are done when pierced with a fork or knife it is soft and easy to pierce. I only bake one tray at a time. If you line the air fry rack you can fit more potatoes on it then on a small baking sheet – that is another option that works as well.
Happy Healthy Cooking!
