Ina Garten's Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

Community Pick

Submitted by Sharon123

"These potatoes are not quite as crispy like fries but they're better for you because they're baked. The serving size says 4, but I eat all of them at one sitting! Adapted from Ina Garten's book,"Back to Basics"(Barefoot Contessa). Ina likes to cut them into fairly large wedges, but I like them smaller(like french fries) because I love the crispiness and get more of it with smaller wedges!Sweet potatoes are available year-round, but their prime season is really autumn and winter. Choose potatoes that are smooth and unblemished, and use them fairly soon because they don't keep as well as other potatoes."

directions

Preheat oven to 425*F.
Cut sweet potatoes in wedges or like french fries.
Place wedges on large baking pan or cookie sheet. Pour over olive oil, and toss to mix.
Now sprinkle over brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat wedges.
Spread out in a single layer. Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes, then take out and turn wedges over.
Place back in oven and bake another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Sprinke with extra kosher salt to taste. The cooking time will depend on how big the wedges are. Enjoy!
Note: These are also good with a little ground cumin sprinkled with the other seasonings. Have fun and experiment!

My fries were too lumpy. How do I make them crisp?

These are brilliant. I made these for supper this supper this evening and everyone loved them. The only addition I made was adding a bit of bourbon before baking and it added a lot of flavour and great glaze.

These tasted very good. I did try to cut them smaller so that they were crispy but they were not crispy enough for us. I had fair warning. I don't think we will be making these again because I cannot get over the mushy factor.

Both DH and I loved these. Yes, they don't crisp up but the flavor is wonderful. I did sprinkle on some cumin like others have suggested. I also cut mine into french fry shapes. Made in honor of Sharon's DH.

THE BEST way to eat sweet potatoes, and I love sweet potatoes. I subbed 1 1/2 tsp of Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the light brown sugar, but otherwise assembled as directed, and baked on a stoneware pan using my oven's convection feature. Might I suggest the only way to improve these fries is to serve them with recipe#120459 for dipping...another fabulous recipe.

Lovely sweet potato wedges, the hint of sugar just added that little bit of extra sweetness without overtaking the taste of the potato. As I did really chunky wedges I allowed 35 to 40 minutes to cook till tender at 220C fan forced oven. Thank you Sharon123, made for Everyday A Holiday.

Ina Garten's Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe - Food.com? ›

This is especially important if you're making a big batch of fries. Instead of just piling more onto one baking pan, spread them out over two baking pans or cook them in batches.

Why are my sweet potato fries still soft? ›

My guess is you aren't blanching the sweet potato fries before you are frying them. In order to get crispy fries, of any type, you need to cook them twice. You begin by either boiling them in water, or frying them at 325, until they are just cooked through, but not so much that they lose their shape.

Why are my fries not crisping? ›

Simmering the fries in water washes away the excess sugars that can cause the fries to brown too much before they have a chance to properly crisp up when frying. The water also activates the starches in the potato. Starch, when fried, is what creates that crispy surface we want!

Why are my sweet potato fries soggy in the air fryer? ›

If your air fryer fries are soggy, it is likely because you over-crowded them in the basket. The sweet potatoes steam when crowded together, instead of air frying. For the best, most crispy results, cook the fries in a single layer so that the air has room to circulate.

Remember, fries are full of water. The more fries you add to a tray, the more steam they'll be releasing in your oven, reducing crispness. Load the oven quickly. This prevents heat loss that can result in soggy fries.
