Sweet Potato Fries

Method

Sweet Potato Fries

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Peel if desired, then cut into evenly sized fries (about 1/4 inch thick).

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, cornstarch, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Spread fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces for crisping.

  5. 5

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip the fries and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are tender.

  6. 6

    Remove from oven and season with a light pinch of additional salt if desired. Let rest 2-3 minutes.

House-made Ranch

  1. 7

    In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.

  2. 8

    Whisk in buttermilk (or lemon juice) to reach your desired dipping consistency.

  3. 9

    Stir in dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust with additional lemon juice if needed.

  4. 10

    Chill the ranch in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to meld flavors.
