The most time-consuming (and difficult) part of making sweet potato fries is slicing them up. I typically cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise so that they are more manageable. Then I carefully slice them about 1/4 inch thick. It’s important to slice them to approximately the same width so that they will have similar baking times. These fries can be seasoned with your favorite spices and herbs. I used garlic, basil, and paprika, but you can spice them up however you like.

I made this today for Super Bowl Sunday!
The potatoes were delicious! I did not have to he makings for the sauce because I just found this recipe today!
Will try the dip next time! Hot wings coming up next!
Awesome, thanks for reporting back! Hope you had a great Super Bowl Sunday 🙂
Sweet potato fries are my kryptonite. I’m tellin’ ya, a batch of these and 10 minutes in front of me, and you’re looking at a clean plate. Or baking sheet, depending on my patience that day. Must try these soon!
Now I am not a huge sweet potato fan but looking at these fries I think I might reconsider! They look perfect! And with that sauce – I bet they taste amazing as well! 🙂
Haha thanks Julia! The sauce was probably the part I liked the most… as is usually the case with me!
