Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium Potatoes peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries, sweet
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 338°F (170°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into fry shapes about 1/4-inch thick. Evenly sized fries will ensure they cook uniformly.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil. Make sure each fry is lightly coated. This helps the seasonings adhere and promotes even browning.
- Sprinkle the fries with salt, white pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (or chili flakes). Toss gently to combine.
- Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of crisping.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the fries. This ensures even cooking and browning on both sides.
- Continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the fries are tender and starting to brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the fries to a wire rack to cool slightly. This allows them to crisp up further as they cool.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately. These fries pair well with homemade mayonnaise, veggie burgers, burritos, or chipotle bowls.

Expert Tips
- For extra crispy sweet potato fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before frying. This helps remove excess starch.
- Experiment with different seasonings for your fries. Try adding paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder for a flavorful twist.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. This will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fries. Fry in batches for best results.
Storage Instructions
- Sweet potato fries are best enjoyed fresh. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
