Sweet potato fries!  These fries are a little salty & spicy with a bit of crunchy sweetness…just delicious!

 

 

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

2 large sweet potatoes (or 4 small ones)

sea salt or regular salt

pepper & cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 teaspoons brown sugar

 

 

 

First peel the potatoes…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although they may look like belligerent elephant seals, as their name implies, they are really sweet!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cut the potatoes in half, & then cut each half into fry-size wedges, maybe 4 to 8 wedges depending on the size of the potato.  For these large ones, each half was cut into 8 wedges.

 

 

 

 

Place on a baking sheet with 1 to 2 tablespoons of canola oil, & stir to coat the potatoes.    Sprinkle with salt, pepper, & a very light sprinkling of cayenne pepper for just a hint of spiciness.  (Those in the photo above were just a bit too spicy!) 

 

There should be some space between the fries, as shown above, so they will not get too mushy.

 

Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, turning with a spatula every 5 minutes.

 

Then, take the cookie sheet out & sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, stir gently, & place back in the oven, baking the potatoes for 3 minutes, then turning with a spatula & baking 3 more final minutes.

 

The sugar will caramelize, giving the potatoes a little bit of a crispy coating!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy!

 SWEET POTATO OVEN FRIES

Sweet potato fries!  These fries are a little salty & spicy with a bit of crunchy sweetness…just delicious!

 

First peel 2 large sweet potatoes or 3 or 4 small ones…(When you place them on a baking sheet, they should be in a single layer with a bit of space between the fries, so if you have a larger baking sheet, you may be able to bake more than this at once.)

 

Cut the potatoes in half, & then cut each half into fry-size wedges, maybe 4 to 8 wedges depending on the size of the potato.  For these large ones shown above, each half was cut into 8 wedges.

 

Place on a baking sheet with 1 to 2 tablespoons of canola oil, & stir to coat the potatoes.    Sprinkle with sea salt or regular salt, pepper, & a very light sprinkling of cayenne pepper for just a hint of spiciness. 

 

There should be some space between the fries so they will not get to mushy.

 

Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so.

 

Then, take the potatoes out of the oven & sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, stir gently, & place back in the oven, baking the potatoes for 3 minutes, then turning with a spatula & baking 3 more final minutes.

 

The sugar will caramelize, giving the potatoes a little bit of a crispy coating!

 

Enjoy!
