  • Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized fries: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some fries from being overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Soak the sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking: This will help to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
  • Toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help to season the fries and make them more flavorful.
  • Cook the sweet potato fries at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up and prevent them from becoming soggy.
