Sweet potato fries beat french fries any day. The sweet crispy fries have an insanely addicting and perfectly tender inside. These fries have a few tricks up their sleeves to get extra-crispy in the oven with no frying in sight! It sounds a little strange to soak potatoes when you want to ensure they get crispy, but it helps! Soaking your cut potatoes in cold water for just 30 minutes will get rid of excess starch (that's what makes them creamy) and help them crisp up in the oven. Just be sure to drain and pat dry extremely well before roasting. The biggest mistake people make when making fries (or roasting anything, really) is overcrowding. The fries will steam instead of crisp and no one wants a limp fry. Be sure to spread your fries between 2 pans, giving the potatoes plenty of room to cook. It's the best thing you can do for your fries and the most helpful trick to remember when cooking.

Ingredients

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • Kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder

  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Cornstarch

  • 3 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil

  • 6 Large sweet potatoes, sliced into fries

Method

  • 01
    Preheat oven to 425℉. Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak at least 30 minutes, then drain and dry well with paper towels.
  • 02
    On two large baking sheets, toss sweet potatoes with oil, cornstarch, and garlic powder and season generously with salt and pepper. Bake until crispy, 40 to 45 minutes, tossing halfway through.
