Author:jessyratfink Making Jiggy.

I enjoy cats, Nicolas Cage, sewing, cooking, books, learning, and making.

I've had my work featured on Jezebel, BoingBoing, Gizmodo, LifeHacker, ohdeeoh, CRAFT, and in Theme and Adbusters magazines. If you came here frothere, hello! Hope you stick around!

Intro: Perfect Oven Sweet Potato FriesI have perfected the art of the sweet potato fry. I've made them so many times that I have a very set formula for making them. I don't enjoy frying things, so I do mine the oven. They're easy and tasty and go well with Cuban, Mexican and Indian food. :D

They're also good for holiday dinners. I just can't get on the "let's dump half a bag of brown sugar and some marshmallows into a pan with some sweet potatoes andmaple syrup!" bandwagon. Sweet potatoes are sweet enough as is!

Step 1:Supplies!You will need:

one large sweet potatosea salt (coarse)freshly ground black pepper, chunkygood quality olive oil (not pictured)a peelera sharp chef's knifea cutting boarda large baking sheet (not pictured)

This recipe takes about a half hour to make, and one large sweet potato can serve 2-3 people if it's a side. Or sometimes I'll eat a whole one by myself if I've had nothelse to eat that day.

Step 2:Preheat the oven and peel the sweet potato!Set the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Now, peel the potato.

I don't worry about washing it, normally, but you can rinse it in the sink as long as you promise me you'll dry it off very, very well. If it's still wet the olive oil won't coat thfries as well, which will lead to soggy fries. And then you'll be disappointed with the fries and I'll be disappointed with you. :(


4/10


Step 3:Slice the sweet potato!Most times, I will cut the sweet potato in half because they're normally very large.

Now, cut a thin slice from both ends. (For the one pictured, I only had to do one end!) This will eliminate little pointy ends on your fries - they're bad because they tendburn very quickly since they slice up thinner. (Burnt sugar = nasty)

Now, take a half of the sweet potato and cut it into large slices about 3/4 inch thick. You'll then cut the larger slices into fries. Your fries should be 1/2 inch to 3/4 inchthick.

Repeat this for the other half!

Sorry for the lack of action shots, I was doing this all by myself. :P

Step 4:Put the fries on the baking sheet!Just throw them all on there.

Sprinkle a good pinch of sea salt over them, and then apply a ton of freshly ground black pepper. I like to keep mine more chunky because it gives them a nice bite. :D

Drizzle with olive oil (Probably about 1/4 cup, I don't know, I just eyeball things.)

Now, mix it all together on the baking sheet. Make sure you're scooping the salt, pepper and oil from the bottom and mixing it in. Don't let the tastiness go to waste!

At this point you can add more olive oil if you want - just don't drown them. They should look glossy, but they shouldn't be sitting in a pool of olive oil.

Once everything's mixed, space out the fries on the baking sheet. Make sure they're all evenly spaced and not touching. They'll get soggy otherwise!


5/10


Step 5:Baking!Put them in the oven for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven or fidget with them during this time. Just let 'em cook. The smell will probably be too much to bear, so perhthis is a good time to go to another room and focus on something else. :D

Then, take them out and flip them. I use my bare hands most of the time, but tongs work well too.

Once they're flipped, put them back in the oven for 10 minutes. :)

Both sides should now be dark brown and crispy and delicious. And hopefully spicy, if you followed my directions. Spicy is the way to go with sweet potato fries!

Keep in mind that I like mine REALLY dark and crispy. Should you want a lighter brown color, just reduce the cooking time a couple minutes for both sides.

Enjoy! :D

lizzieslaytersays: Mar 7, 2011. 5:52 PM REPThanks for your clear and easy directions. I have two aging sweet potatoes that were begging for the baking sheet rather than the compost bucket. Yousaved them. Yummy.

PamperedChefGirlsays: Mar 3, 2011. 8:48 AM REPThanks! What a great recipe! Have you ever heard of Whole 30? It's a food challenge for 30 days that is really restricted but will detox your body and chanthe way you look at food! (A great side effect was that I lost 11 lbs in 30 days) Anyways yams/sweet potatoes are an approved food and this is a great way

feel like you are sneaking in a treat! Also If you want to speed up your time in the kitchen you should check out my websitewww.pamperedchef.biz/jenboyette and check out the Ultimate Mandoline. You can slice up sweet potatoes in seconds! My favorite blade is the crinkle cuttThey look so cute and yummy!

beckyrepsays: Nov 15, 2010. 12:33 AM REPCould you apply the olive oil by tossing oil onto the sliced sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl? (Rather than drizzle all over the baking sheet?)

Could you perch some cooling racks inside a cookie sheet, and place the pieces atop, in order to avoid the turning-over operation (air flow beneath) ?

I can't wait to bake these for Thanksgiving.

jessyratfinksays: Nov 20, 2010. 5:48 PM REPYou can definitely coat the potatoes that way - but since I have never owned a dishwasher, I tend to skip any additional dish dirtying steps! :)

I'm not sure that the cooling racks would work, though, because you really want the fries to get as much surface contact as possible with the bakingsheet so they get browned and crispy. But you could always do a test run!

Tool Using Animalsays: Oct 28, 2010. 7:56 AM REPYo Jess, made these last night, extraordinary! I changed them just a little and whisked some ground chipotle into the oil before coating.

Warning, straight out of the oven, the inside is napalm which will blister the roof of your mouth. ;-)

chotzenysays: Oct 28, 2010. 7:17 AM REPhammm that looks good, Now I am hungry...

Don H.says: Oct 8, 2010. 1:32 PM REPNice! I just got back from a field near here picking up the sweet potatoes they left behind and found a couple big ones that will be perfect for this. Brb, gointo start cutting and cooking me some sweet potato fries!!!

xx4514200says: Aug 26, 2010. 4:23 PM REPMake some of these for the doggie as a treat. Sweet potato is very good for dogs and they love them. Just be very careful what you are putting on them.Dogs cannot tolerate but very little salt, be careful not to use garlic and onion this can be dangerous to your dog.

mandala412says: Oct 6, 2010. 5:45 PM REPhow sweet

mandala412says: Oct 6, 2010. 5:42 PM REPi'm making these right now...i like the skin on for the extra nutrional value and taste. i added some cCAYENNE, garlic and onion powders....can't wait for them to be ready :) thanks for sharing!

pegburke4says: Sep 26, 2010. 2:05 PM REPOMG, these are good. I had a taste for sweet potato fries yesterday, and thought I'd try these babies. I may never go out for sweet potato fries again! Just

fabulous. Thanks!

herbcooksays: Sep 24, 2010. 4:39 PM REPI just made these fries for dinner, they are GREAT!!! Followed the recipe exactlyas written and looking forward to having them again. My husband also liked them very much. Thanks for the recipe, I am a newcomer to your web site..Hecook

CID25says: Jul 29, 2010. 11:56 PM REPVery nice! The favorite dip to go along with these in my house is a few chopped chipotle peppers mixed into some mayo, the tangy, spicy dip complimentsthe sweet, salty fries really well

natecarlsonsays: Jul 23, 2010. 7:36 AM REPThese were great, thanks! About what I've done in the past but was looking for some more guidelines since I haven't made 'em in ages. ;)

Mrcheese15says: Jul 21, 2010. 4:16 PM REPthe stuff i use on it is chili powder..dried chilies.....cayane pepper...black pepper..sea salt...and i think thats it

uva12345says: Jul 9, 2010. 10:04 AM REPthey look delish! cant wait to eat them (there in the oven as i type!!!)

Bicyclemansays: Nov 22, 2008. 7:20 AM REPI like using a ziploc bag for this step, espescially if I'm using many herbs or spices. Just mix the seasonnings in the bag, add oil, add potatoes, close andshake, shake, shake! This whole recipe also works great for butternut squashes.

rainbowlorysays: Jun 24, 2010. 11:56 PM REPi just love zippy bags for everything mess goes in the trash!!!

mina299says: Jun 8, 2010. 10:51 AM REPOMG! I am going to walk to the store to make these things RIGHT NOW!!!

annamaria1231says: Dec 19, 2008. 6:28 PM REPThis is excellent! As a bonus I like to add Lawry's salt to them before baking. If I don't, I'll add it to the sour cream for dip. Anyone here by any chance evereat in Seva in Ann Arbor, Michigan? I haven't been there in years. I remember getting yam fries everytime I went and they had the best sour cream dip.Anyone else remember or decipher the recipe to the dip?

kara.mosays: May 30, 2010. 10:30 PM REPThis is too funny! Here I am 8 years later living a totally different life in California and I find this thread trying to figure out how to make a healthy versionof the old Seva recipe for my toddler. Ha ha!

I worked at Seva for 4 years as a waitress. The recipe is simple, but a little Ann Arbor local dependent. Its mayo with Clancy's Fancy, an Ann Arbor mahot sauce (. Yum. I have to remember to stock up on that stuff next time I'm in town.And now to figure out what's in the Clancy's. They have a website...:) Happy fry eating.

mbesseysays: Mar 3, 2009. 5:51 AM REPDid you ever find out how to make the sauce from Seva?

annamaria1231says: Mar 3, 2009. 6:08 AM REPNo :-( Good thing these fries are delicious by themselves.

slgabesays: Jan 19, 2009. 3:43 PM REPSeva had the best (and my first ever) sweet potato fries, haven't found any to compare in Seattle. We make fries at home but I didn't know their saucehad a sour cream base. We've tried to replicate with mayo, spicy mustard, worchestershire, and a few drops of hot sauce. I like Dave's Insanity, but myson uses Gunslinger. We don't really have measurements, it's sort of just to our taste. Start out with about 1/2 C. mayo, 2-3 TBSP. mustard, 1 TBSP.Worchestershire and a couple drops of hot sauce. I'm going to make some fries now and maybe I'll try a sour cream base! Yum!

annamaria1231says: Jan 19, 2009. 5:37 PM REPmmm, I could drink Worchestershire by itself. I'll try that out. Your recipe for the dip, I mean. I've already had my Worchestershire sip for the day =P

ghickensays: May 13, 2010. 5:54 PM REPCutting the potatoes proved to be tough, but other wise i t was easy and delicious :)

mmmgoodsays: Apr 15, 2010. 3:43 PM REPThis is a great recipe. My favorite thing to dip sweet potato fries in is sweet chili sauce.

kayakkentsays: Mar 31, 2010. 12:58 PM REPA good dipping sauce is 4 to 1 mayo and honey mustard and curry powder to taste.

droppocketsays: Jan 23, 2010. 6:45 AM REPI like mine with cinnomen and sugar

dotmom61says: Jan 21, 2010. 6:27 AM REPI just roasted sweet potato wedges the other day in a very similar fashion, and they were delicious!

The crowning touch was a drizzle of balsamic vinegar syrup (just boil 1 cup of vinegar until it reduces to 1/4 cup & store in the fridge) ... SO good.

I would imagine the addition of some chili powder to these would be really tasty, too!

lizabroosays: Dec 15, 2009. 8:08 AM REPRasberry jam and Ketchup to dip the fries in. Yum

Rocksterrsays: Nov 26, 2009. 4:31 PM REPI've enjoyed sweet potatoes and regular spud fries on the barby grilled in a perforated tray made for small items but you have raised the science to an artform. Thank you for sharing your hard won knowledge and expertise. I like to have a plate with ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper in separate piles to dip

the delectable morsels into as you wish. Very professional presentation and perfectly cooked, in my humble opinion. Cheers!

Brian Rothsays: Nov 26, 2009. 7:01 AM REPFor some sweet potatoe fries I'd be more than happy to be your dishwasher.

REAsays: Nov 24, 2009. 1:28 PM REPgreat timing! my dad bought a sack full of sweet potatoes after hearing they were good for diabetics.

kittzcandisays: Nov 23, 2009. 6:27 PM REPHi all;I cooked this for my fiance and I in a real jiff! It was delisious; he loved it too!I used olive oil, a lil' Lawery's and added some rooster hot sause for a lil' heat! yummy!

omeginsays: Jul 26, 2009. 4:12 PM REPThank you, thank you, thank you!

bluhonusays: Jun 5, 2009. 10:57 AM REPI have a similar recipe with regular spuds in which I leave the peel on as I like the flavour and it adds some valuable nutrients to them. Is there a reason topeel the sweet potato (ie toxic, or foul tasting) or could I get away with leaving the peel on?

mizkejsays: Jul 2, 2009. 4:51 PM REPI used rosemary, lemon pepper, sea salt and fresh ground pepper... they were great, evev my 19 year old liked them!

zulemesays: Jun 18, 2009. 9:10 AM REPThere is no reason not to leave the skins on the sweet potatoes.. Not only does it add flavor, nutrients and texture it helps in keeping the soft potatotogether. The only time I peel my sweet or white potato is if there is a hard spot or blemish. I tend to cut mine into wedges... and roast on. Quick andeasy... and oh so satisfying.

jessyratfinksays: Jun 5, 2009. 5:15 PM REPYou can definitely leave the peel on! I do it sometimes and it tastes just fine. :)

Kassysays: Jun 14, 2009. 5:00 PM REPI'm from the Caribbean island of St.Vincent and sweet potatoes is one of our main staples, so we tried out lost of recipes, e.g. fired potatoes, puddings, pieJust love sweet potatoes fires but spicing it up makes if even better. I tried it with a Jamaican Jerk seasoning and it was amazing.

Redroguesays: Jun 8, 2009. 3:10 PM REPWow, excellent instructable, I'm going to see if I can cook these tonight.

scalkins69says: Jun 4, 2009. 2:54 PM REPI found out the hard way not to cut them too small. They were still delicious and turned a non-sweet potato eater into a converted fry eater. About a quarterinch to a centimeter thick would have been perfect.

orbitupsays: Apr 3, 2009. 5:54 PM REPWe tried it.... great. My wife adds a little cayenne pepper.

mammasheensays: May 8, 2009. 3:12 AM REPits also god with a little brown sugar and chilli

CWelshsays: May 3, 2009. 5:29 PM REPCutting the potato is the hardest part. So I cut them lengthwise and use a food processor to turn them into chip size pieces. Thanks for the recipe. These aa super healthy alternative to chips or fries and are very low on the glycemic index.

Nottslandingsays: Apr 25, 2009. 9:14 AM REPI have always hated sweet potatoes, but I was bold and tried these and I LOVE them. I also put them in a baggie with the oil so that I can be frugal with theoil and coat them evenly. I also used about 1/4 tsp of ground rosemary and some paprika and went light on the pepper and salt. REALLY, REALLY good. Igoing to make this for my grandchildren who love sweet potatoes. Healthy, healthy!

d1shsays: Apr 22, 2009. 7:51 PM REPdang it!! i've been salivating this whole time but it's too late to be cooking now! drats. -they're also good with rosemary, thyme, or a sprinkle of curry powde(the same pan can be used to roast garlic (as a spread, or on its delicious own!))

JessG516says: Apr 3, 2009. 5:09 PM REPOMG THESE WERE DELICIOUS! I used Great Value olive oil and GV salt and pepper (I'm just a poor college kid). I can't even imagine how great theywould taste with better quality ingredients. I followed Bicycleman's advice on step 4. I'm glad I used a ziplock bag, if not I would have made a mess!
