Doneness
Exterior is deep orange-brown and crisp; centre is fluffy when bitten. Bend a fry between fingers — it should hold its shape.
Oil & seasoning
Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil — sweet potatoes have very low natural fat.
Season with: salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne (optional).
Watch out for
- Sweet potato fries crisp slower than regular potato fries because of the higher sugar content. Resist the urge to crank the temperature above 380 °F — they burn outside before crisping.
- Soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to draw out starch; pat completely dry. This is the single biggest crisp-factor.
