- Slice the fries thin. Too thick, and the crisp does not happen.
- Less oil is more. Too much, and the crisp does not happen.
- Flip the fries at half-way. Unless you like extra-charred on one side, in which case, don't flip.
- Cornstarch is crispy's best friend.
Now you are ready to conquer the crispy sweet potato fry.
Sweet Potato Fries
Yield: 1 large or 2 small servings
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and sliced into 1/4 - 1/2 inch fries
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Spices of your choice (go Cajun, sweet, or herbs & Parmesan...endless possibilities)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Use a non-stick baking sheet for best results.
2. Add the oil, cornstarch, spices, and salt and pepper to a large ziplock bag. Add the cut potato and seal shut. Shake the bag vigorously until fries are evenly coated with the mixture.
3. Lay the fries in a single sheet on the baking sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes, then flip the fries in small batches until all are turned. Bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden. Enjoy while hot!
Ready for the oven!
Crispy and ready to eat!
