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:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and cook until potatoes are tender, but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- 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 firm and unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid potatoes with cuts or bruises.
- Cut Uniformly: Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries to ensure even cooking. Consistent thickness helps them crisp up uniformly.
- Soaking the Fries: Soaking the fries in cold water for 15-30 minutes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- Dry Thoroughly: After soaking, pat the fries dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Excess moisture can prevent them from crisping.
- Season Liberally: Generously coat the fries with your preferred seasonings. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and other spices for a flavorful result.
- Toss with Oil: Drizzle the fries with oil (such as olive oil or avocado oil) and toss to coat evenly. This helps them become golden brown and crispy.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking the fries. This ensures they cook evenly and get crispy.
- Spread Out the Fries: Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet without overcrowding. This allows them to cook evenly and prevents steaming.
- Flip Halfway Through: About halfway through the cooking time, flip the fries using a spatula to ensure even browning and crispiness on both sides.
- Watch the Cooking Time: The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fries and your oven. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking or burning.
