In a mixing bowl, combine the fries with oil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Set the air fryer to 380°F and cook the fries for approximately 12 minutes, working in 2 or 3 batches to avoid overcrowding. Remember to turn the fries or shake the basket halfway through the cooking time.

Soak the sweet potato pieces in a large bowl filled with hot tap water for 10 minutes. After soaking, drain the potatoes and place them on a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet, patting them dry thoroughly.
