Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into waffle fry shapes. Rinse the cut sweet potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.

Soak the Sweet Potatoes
Soak the sweet potato fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to help achieve a crispier texture.

Preheat Oven
While the fries soak, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Season the Fries
Drain and pat the sweet potato fries dry. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.

Bake the Fries
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
