Baked sweet potato fries
Baked sweet potato fries
Does anyone have a good recipe? Looking for something a little spicy.
Thanks!
Thanks!
These have become a staple in our house...
Not spicy, but I generally cut up the sweet potato (in the form of french fries - be sure to cut them a little larger than you would think you need to, as they tend to shrink during baking)...I toss in a little olove oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper...I have also added crushed red pepper for that spice...
Or...Olive oil and Cruz Bay Grill Rub - which my wife and I enjoy even more than the garlic version.
Also, instead of baking, we often season them and throw them in tin foil on the grill. Good stuff.
Okay - now just wait for liamsuant's version, which is sure to be tastier then mine!

granted, you asked for a recipe, but I saw these the other day and thought they looked awesome:

I've tried the alexia sweet potato fries and they are a little dry.
My favorite sp fries are peeled and cut on a mandolin. Then tossed with melted butter, curry powder, and a generous amount of salt and then baked on parchment at 400 degrees until crisped and browned in spots. For four potatoes (about 2.5 lbs) I would use 4 tbsp. butter and 2 heaping tsp. curry. You could use hot curry if you want it spicy. A lot of the butter stays on the parchment so it's not quite as bad for you as you might think.
Four potatoes will feed 6-8 people in fry form.

How thick do you cut them?liamsaunt wrote:I've tried the alexia sweet potato fries and they are a little dry.
