Provided by Food Network

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning water
2 large sweet potatoes, washed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more if desired
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
  • In a large pot, add the sweet potatoes and cover with cold salted water. Bring them to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer until you can pierce each potato with a paring knife and there is little to no resistance, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
  • Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl of cold water to halt their cooking process. Once the potatoes are cool, drain well. Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into thick wedges, about 6 wedges per potato. Put the potatoes into a large bowl and coat them with olive oil. Add the brown sugar, cayenne, salt, pepper, cinnamon and cloves and toss to evenly coat. Put the wedges on the preheated grill. Cook until they are heated through and caramelized, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve them as they are, or with a side of mint and cumin aioli, if desired.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fries turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with a dipping sauce made from ketchup, mayonnaise, and Sriracha.

The fries were good, but I found them to be a bit too oily. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of grilling them.

These fries were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The fries were soggy and undercooked. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.

Not bad! I liked the crispy texture of the fries, but I found the seasoning to be a bit bland. Next time, I'll add some more herbs and spices.

These fries were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The seasoning was perfect, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. I'll definitely be making these again.
