Sweet Potato Fries

About Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries are strips of sweet potato cooked until tender inside and crisp around the edges. Their natural sweetness pairs well with both savory seasonings and mildly sweet flavors.

Seasoning and Serving

Common seasonings include salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic, and cayenne. Sweet potato fries can be served as a snack or as a side for burgers, sandwiches, salads, and other casual meals.

Popular accompaniments include ketchup, mayonnaise-based sauces, ranch dressing, mustard, and spicy dipping sauces.

Preparation

Sweet potato fries may be deep-fried, air-fried, or baked. Because sweet potatoes contain more moisture and sugar than ordinary potatoes, evenly cut pieces, adequate spacing, and high cooking heat help produce crisper edges.
