Steps:
- Rinse and peel sweet potatoes.
- To cut into fries, cut a small sliver off the edge of the potatoes lengthwise to create a flat side for them to rest on. Turn the potato over to lay on its flat side. Cut each slice lengthwise into three to four fries.
- Place the fries in a bowl of water and soak for one hour. (This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes so your fries will be crispier.) Rinse and dry off.
- In a large bowl or gallon bag, toss the fries with cornstarch until they're evenly coated. Then add the oil and toss to coat.
- Add the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar and toss to evenly distribute your spices. (Hold off on adding the salt until after baking. This will help make sure the fries are crispy.)
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the french fries, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. (You may need two pans, depending on how large your pans are. Avoid overcrowding one pan or your fries may not crisp up.)
- Bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries with tongs, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle on salt (to taste) and serve! Add shredded Parmesan and chopped parsley for an optional garnish.
- Enjoy!

INA GARTEN'S BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES
These potatoes are not quite as crispy like fries but they're better for you because they're baked. The serving size says 4, but I eat all of them at one sitting! Adapted from Ina Garten's book,"Back to Basics"(Barefoot Contessa). Ina likes to cut them into fairly large wedges, but I like them smaller(like french fries) because I love the crispiness and get more of it with smaller wedges! Sweet potatoes are available year-round, but their prime season is really autumn and winter. Choose potatoes that are smooth and unblemished, and use them fairly soon because they don't keep as well as other potatoes.

Steps:

- Heat the grill to high.
- While the potatoes are cooling, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the garlic, thyme and chili flakes and cook until the garlic is just soft, about 45 seconds. Remove from the heat.
- Slice each potato in half lengthwise then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size. Brush the wedges with the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and season with salt. Grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove to a platter and immediately toss with the garlic mixture and chopped parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Select sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have sprouts.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick fries.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are completely dry before tossing them with oil. This will help them crisp up.
- Use the right oil: Use a high-smoke point oil, such as canola oil, vegetable oil, or avocado oil. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and can burn.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) before baking the fries. This will help them cook evenly.
- Bake the fries in a single layer: Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure the fries are in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
- Toss the fries halfway through baking: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Season the fries after baking: Season the fries with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings after they have been baked. This will help the seasonings stick to the fries.
Conclusion:
