Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick sticks (cut really long sticks in half)
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and place a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet in oven to preheat as well.
In a small mixing bowl whisk together cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
Place sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil then pour cornstarch mixture over sweet potatoes and toss to evenly coat.
Remove baking sheet from oven then pour sweet potatoes onto baking sheet and spread into an even layer working to keep a little space between them (careful pan will be hot!).
Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes then remove from oven and toss and spread into an even layer again.
Return to oven and bake until until fries are golden brown in spots, about 10 minutes longer.
Serve warm with fry sauce (see notes in post for fry sauce recipe) or ketchup if desired.
Just mix 1/3 cup mayonnaise (I like to use half light half regular, otherwise it’s just not fry sauce without some full fat mayo), 3 Tbsp ketchup, 3/4 tsp apple cider vinegar and a pinch of cayenne. Then just keep it in the fridge. It’s liquid gold when it comes to fries.
