Sweet Potato Fries

Recipe #320370 | 50 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Mrs. T!
Aug 19, 2008

I have long enjoyed making traditional fries from russet potatoes and invented this recipe as a vitamin A-loaded alternative. My 2-year old can't get enough of them! I choose not to peel them (more nutritious), but some people prefer the texture more when they are peeled...

SERVES 3 -4 , 1 large baking sheet (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice sweet potatoes into fry-sized strips (~ 1/2 inch square strips going down the full length of the potato).
  2. 2
    Toss them in olive oil and lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. 3
    Sprinkle with freshly ground sea salt and paprika to taste.
  4. 4
    Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 min, flipping them all over after 25 minute.
  5. 5
    OR broil on low (~ 400 degrees) for ~ 20-25 minute You shouldn't need to flip them, just watch that they don't get too brown.
  6. 6
    These taste best when they have just a touch of brown on them, but don't overdo them. They should not be crispy, just cooked and somewhat limp.

Delicious! Perfect as it, everyone loves them, including my 1 & 1/2 year old. Last time I made them I added a pinch of curry powder and paprika, it gave it a nice flavor.

    Delish! I need to use up some sweet potatoes and I am happy that I chose this recipe. DH was skeptical but loved them. I followed the directions as directed but halved the recipe using 2 tablespoons olive oil. I did not peel my potatoes. Made for Fall PAC 2008. Thanks Mrs. T!

    Delicious!! My family loved these quick, easy, and very healthy fries. I baked them, as written, and then stuck them under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp and brown. These were gone in a hurry!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!! Made for Fall PAC 2008
