SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH BLUE CHEESE
I used to avoid sweet potatoes as a child, mostly because they came out of a can. When I heard of the many health benefits, I began trying fresh sweet potatoes with my husband. Now we enjoy fries topped with cinnamon sugar or cayenne pepper. We've also discovered how awesome they are with blue cheese. -Katrina Krumm, Apple Valley, Minnesota

Steps:
- Rinse and peel sweet potatoes.
- To cut into fries, cut a small sliver off the edge of the potatoes lengthwise to create a flat side for them to rest on. Turn the potato over to lay on its flat side. Cut each slice lengthwise into three to four fries.
- Place the fries in a bowl of water and soak for one hour. (This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes so your fries will be crispier.) Rinse and dry off.
- In a large bowl or gallon bag, toss the fries with cornstarch until they're evenly coated. Then add the oil and toss to coat.
- Add the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar and toss to evenly distribute your spices. (Hold off on adding the salt until after baking. This will help make sure the fries are crispy.)
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the french fries, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. (You may need two pans, depending on how large your pans are. Avoid overcrowding one pan or your fries may not crisp up.)
- Bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries with tongs, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle on salt (to taste) and serve! Add shredded Parmesan and chopped parsley for an optional garnish.
- Enjoy!

What's my secret for super-crispy sweet potato fries? I actually have two. First, I soak the potatoes in cold water to remove the excess starch.

Steps:
- For the sweet potato fries: Soak the potatoes in cold water 30 minutes. Dry on paper towels.
- Stir together the brown sugar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- For the creamy barbecue sauce: Stir together the barbecue sauce, mayonnaise and House Seasoning in a bowl.
- For the spicy sauce: Stir together the ketchup, mayonnaise, House Seasoning and hot sauce in a separate bowl.
- For the sweet potato fries: Pour the oil to a depth of 3 inches in a Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 325 degrees F. Line wire racks with paper towels.
- Stir together the cornstarch and seltzer water in a medium bowl. Dip the sweet potatoes in the cornstarch mixture in batches until coated. (The coating will be thin. Stir the cornstarch mixture after each batch.) Fry the sweet potatoes, in batches, until they float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes. (The sweet potatoes won't brown yet.) Remove to lined wire racks to drain.
- Increase the oil temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Fry the potatoes a second time, in batches, until browned and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to the lined racks to drain. Sprinkle immediately with the brown sugar seasoning. Serve right away with the sauces.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle oil over the potatoes. Add seasoning mix and toss to coat. Place fries in one even layer cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes, turn and bake 10 more minutes. Fries should be soft on the inside and browned on the outside.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Use sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid potatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick wedges or fries.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together. Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, make sure the potatoes are completely dry. This will help them crisp up.
- Use the right oil: Use a high-heat cooking oil, such as canola oil or avocado oil. Olive oil is not a good choice because it has a low smoke point and can burn easily.
- Preheat the oven or air fryer: This will help the fries cook evenly. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) or the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Don't overcrowd the pan or air fryer: This will prevent the fries from cooking evenly. Cook the fries in batches if necessary.
- Season the fries: After cooking, season the fries with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right tips and techniques, you can make perfect sweet potato fries at home. Experiment with different seasonings and dipping sauces to find your favorite way to enjoy them.
