Servings:

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into thin wedges (about 1/4" x 3")
2 Tablespoons oil (I use canola or olive oil)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika or chili powder , optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 415°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. If using foil, lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. If making extra crispy fries, first follow instructions in notes. Then place sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Toss fries with oil. Mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, and sprinkle evenly over the fries. Bake 15 minutes. Flip them and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp.
Serve fries while hot! These are best served right away. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispy fries: Soak uncooked fries in ice cold water for 30 minutes. Pat dry and then place in a zip-top bag with 2 teaspoons cornstarch and shake until evenly coated. Use canola oil.

Cooking in the air fryer: This is my favorite way to cook these fries, you will just need to cook in 2 to 3 batches. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Cook for about 12 minutes (turning half way) or until crisp.

For fry sauce: Combine 1/4 cup mayo and 1 1/2 Tablespoons ketchup. Add a dash of seasoned salt.
