How to Cut Sweet Potato Fries
To Peel or Not to Peel? Personally, I choose not to peel the potatoes, as the skins contain nutrients and add great texture to the fries. However, if you prefer peeled fries, feel free to peel the potatoes. Cutting Sweet Potatoes: When it comes to cutting the fries, unlike oven fries with baking potatoes, it’s important to avoid cutting the sweet potatoes too thin. This can cause them to burn before they become crispy. Sweet potato fries can be cut into sticks or wedges, I find that cutting them into 1/2-inch wedges gives the best results.
How to Season Sweet Potato Fries
I’ve tried countless ways to make baked sweet potato fries and really, less is more. Keep things simple and skip the addition of unnecessary ingredients like cornstarch. Simple is best and be generous with the oil! The recipe below is simply seasoned with sea salt and pepper. Add other seasonings like chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or a small pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix it up with Tex-Mex spices like taco seasoning or fajita seasoning. Love sweets? Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon and ginger to boost the sweetness.
