Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any potatoes that have soft spots or wrinkles.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the safety guard to protect your fingers.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove the starch and make them crispier. Be sure to rinse them well before cooking.
  • Use a high heat: This will help to create a crispy crust on the potatoes. If you are using a baking sheet, preheat it in the oven before adding the potatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly. If you need to cook a large batch of potatoes, use two baking sheets.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This will help them to brown evenly. You can also use a spatula to gently shake the potatoes around in the pan.
  • Season the potatoes liberally: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the potatoes. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Crispy Sweet Potato Bake is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve. With its crispy crust and tender interior, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
