sweet potato fries

Anyone ever make these? Any tips? Both my guys love them at restaurants and I thought I would give them a try.

  • Yum, I love sweet potato fries.

    At home I don't make actual fries but I'll peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into cubes, toss them in extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle some brown sugar on top and I put them in the oven for about an hour (until soft) at 350. They're really good!

  • I do the same thing as PP but cut them into long strips like fries. DD loves them!
  • I hate cutting sweet potatoes because they are so hard; I have found it easier to cut them in rounds instead of strips and bake them that way.  I leave them plain, or sprinkle them with cinnamon for ds or sometimes chili powder for us.  They turn out fine w/o oil, but better with it.

  • I peel and cut the sweet potatoes into sticks.  Spray them with Pam and put in the toaster oven at 400 degrees until soft about 15 - 20 min depending on how many are in there.  Then I turn it onto broil to "toast" them and get them a little crispy.  Watch carefully they burn quick.  Take out and sprinkle sparingly with salt.  YUM!
  • I make them all the time - soooo yummy!

    I scrub the yams/sweet potatoes and cut them into fry shapes but leave the skins on.

    Toss in olive oil & sprinkle with sea salt.  

    Put on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 20 min (turning once).

    Delicious every time!

  • I also recommend the Alexia brand you can get frozen. Here's how I make em:

    Peel and cut sweet potatoes into fries

    Put in ziplock back with olive oil, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese (optional, but maybe 1/4 cup)

    Bake at 375 on a cookie sheet for about 15 minutes

    They are gooooooood!!!

  • I cut and bake them like everyone else here. However, I toss them with italian dressing alone. Even DH, who hates sweet potatoes, likes the fries that way.
