Brown Sugar & Spice Sweet Potato Fries image

After perusing the internet for a good sweet potato fry, I finally gave up and decided to just wing it myself. Boy am I glad I didn't chicken out and just went for it! These are not a crispy fry, but highly, warning!, HIGHLY addictive! Haha!! They were even awesome after we had eaten and were cleaning up. We couldn't stay out of...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, *not yams!* (unpeeled)
3 tbl. canola oil, more if needed
1 Tbl. dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt, i use "johnny's"
1/2 tsp. coarse ground pepper
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. paprika

Steps:

  • 1. *You can tell if they are actual sweet potatoes because at least one end, sometimes both, will have a sharp point, (not rounded like russets.) They also usually come individually wrapped and say that they are sweet potatoes. They are very sweet compared to yams, hence their name. Hope that helps!
  • 2. Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray well with butter-flavored cooking spray. Unwrap potatoes and rinse off with cool water. With sharp long knife, trim off woody pointed ends, then cut potatoes in half lengthwise and set cut-side down for easy and stable cutting of the rest as they are very hard and a bit difficult to cut. Continue cutting into wedges or french fries. I cut mine into about a 1/2" square around. *Baking time will depend on size so keep that in mind. Place fries onto prepared pan and drizzle with oil. Toss to coat. EVENLY sprinkle with rest of ingredients. Toss again WELL to mix and evenly disperse seasonings scootching potatoes across the surface to incorporate all of the ingredients. Spread out in a single layer with any of the skin sides facing upwards. Pop into oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, turn each one with tongs, pop back into oven and bake another 10 minutes. Remove from oven leaving door open and turn oven down to LOW (200 degrees), loosen fries from foil a bit and pop back in until ready to serve. Mine were in there for another 10 minutes while I finished preparing other dinner items. *They can also sit out further for a bit, too, so no worries that they have to be piping hot to serve. Warm was just as good if not better!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fries turned out soggy. I'm going to try again using a different recipe.

The fries were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I had some trouble getting the fries crispy. I think I might have cooked them at too low a temperature.

The fries were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

These fries were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try using less brown sugar next time.

These fries were so easy to make and they tasted amazing! I served them with a dipping sauce made from Greek yogurt, honey, and cinnamon and it was the perfect complement.

These sweet potato fries were a hit at our family gathering! They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. I'll definitely be making them again.
